What? I don’t even get a say in this?
Just the whole city… captured by big nut.

@futurebird
I've found each new milk craze a little weirder than the last. But mostly because none of them ever approach the level of protein in cow or soy milk so it just seems so... pointless? to me. But I've literally never had a glass of milk for the taste so I am not the target audience I guess.But yes the current levels of pistachio marketing are so strange to me.

Kingpin: New York City runs on Táche now.

@futurebird maybe it's just me, but pouring brown liquids have never been appealing to look at for me.
-
@futurebird I guess you'll all have decent potassium levels if nothing else.
As someone with nut allergies I feel a little threatened.

This is exactly what happened I assume.

@futurebird Also amusingly, “tache" in french means stain and looking at the overflowing glass, this looks like a likely outcome.
(granted without the affected accent on the á)

Oi vey that is some primo marketing bullshit right there
But if you're going to peddle weird "I AM YOUR IDENTITY NOW" subtext, NYC is probably a good choice of place to do it. I guess rather a lot of young people move to the city to "find themselves", maybe some of them are dumb enough to use public advertisements as sole source material from which to cobble together a new sense of self

@futurebird The overflowing glass seems a bit extra.
Also, I don't like pistachios.

I’ve been here for a minute or two (twenty five years) and I am baffled by this truck, the product, and as they say: who is this man? who is this?

Y'all I am DYING can we please just stop pretending we aren't hung up on getting captured by big nut!?

@futurebird …..great, the city is now running on something severely allergenic to me….(chuckles)

Who indeed, who indeed
I find NYC to be anthropologically fascinating in many ways, but the ways in which advertisers are quick to capitalize on/encourage a sense of "you've made it; you're a New Yorker; you are among the trendsetters; this weird nut milk no one has heard of is REALLY big here and you're a part of that, aren't you?"

@futurebird "captured by big nut"
Yes I'll take "things I never expected to see on a tombstone for $500"

@futurebird Big Nut has never been an appealing governing entity, if you catch my drift.

why can’t it just be
“buy our product. we think we did a good job making it. it’s like milk but made of nuts. idk. we ground them up and put them a cute little box with a screw cap (fancy!) just for you! maybe you like that? anyway. if you do we have the nut juice and will be here all day”
Anyone want to hire me to do their ads?

same— my unease is not helped by the fact that a teaspoon of that stuff would literally kill me.

@futurebird No, nor me either. Advertising isn't about stating the benefits of your product.

@futurebird
"The milk you can't stop pouring. No, really, stop pouring!""You'll get a 'stache from Táche!"
"Táche, we take the Pis out of Pistachio."
Yeah, they probably didn't have a lot to work with.

@Karen5Lund this. It is about overpowering senses and causing "buzz", whatever that is. If you don't create a scandal how are people going to talk about it for free online? Part of it worked, since we're talking about it, online, aren't we, @futurebird ?

@futurebird
the “now” bit makes it sound like a threat
