Lots of brands still stick to the bland, PR speak of olden days, but many are trying to be the next Wendy’s account. It’s no longer edgy or cute when a brand gets saucy, but they’re trying and I truly feel for the person with the login info.

Lots and lots of brands responded. Imagine all these poor social media editors at home, desperately trying to come up with the cleverest response to please the execs at the top. 

“Is this too horny? Horny enough? Will our demographic relate to eating a**?”

Some of the responses are worth a chuckle, but most of us probably don’t want to imagine Netflix or Animal Planet feeling sexy. And yet, now we must:

And there were many, many more:

Exactly. Now that Petco has gone horny on the main, there’s no going back.
