Sprite Learned a Brutal Truth After Running a Bafflingly Sexist Ad Campaign


sprite sexism ads Sprite Learned a Brutal Truth After Running a Bafflingly Sexist Ad Campaign

As soon as this Sprite advertisement was spotted, people started to complain. Why, maybe because instead of saying truths that are #BrutallyRefreshing, as the campaign intended, it really amounted to some cheap jokes that are #BrutallySexist. 

The responses were equal parts "Sprite, you should be ashamed!" and "Did no one in charge of marketing read over this and think that it could be offensive and/or sexist? Really? NO ONE?!?"
