I was doing my routine online grocery shopping today when something caught my eye.
Yeah, "Netflix and Chill'd" by good ol' Ben & Jerry's, obviously made in collaboration with the company. I can't imagine the number of mummies and kiddies who always await their favourite flavour on a Saturday night, Netflix and Chill'd, likely oblivious to the connotations.
It tries to be clever, but if anything it seems more like self-deprecating humour. Netflix was never really good at jokes to be fair. In the popular scenario Netflix is watched, but it's boring enough to be background noise as a means to get into somebody's pants. The point of "Netflix and chill" is that nobody cares about Netflix and it's very much secondary to a good fuck.
Like Netflix the joke is pretty stupid. It's a weak attempt to capitalise on a popular trend (for a lack of better words) and the flavour seems weak as well.
We all know that Japan is king when it comes to stupid flavours, but what are some that you've encountered?
