Big Avocado Got A Coffee Commercial Banned Because The Ad Bashed Avocados

NYP- Avocados are no laughing matter – and a UK coffee chain has landed itself in hot water for suggesting otherwise. A radio commercial advertising Costa Coffee has been banned by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) for playfully suggesting that bacon sandwiches and egg muffins were better breakfast options than avocados. “Oh, there’s a great deal on ripen-at-home avocados. Sure, they’ll be hard as a rock for the first 18 days, three hours and 20 minutes, then they’ll be ready to eat, for about 10 minutes, then they’ll go off,” the radio ad spot said. “For a better deal, head to Costa Coffee and grab a delicious, piping hot bacon roll or egg muffin for just £2 ($2.60) when you buy any Medio or Massimo hot drink or flat white before 11 a.m.” The June 27 ad quickly drew two complaints over its content, which was accused of “discouraging the selection of fresh fruit,” a breach of ASA’s rule banning advertisers from “disparag[ing] good dietary practice.”

“We considered that, although the ad was light-hearted, it nevertheless suggested avocados were a poor breakfast choice, and that a bacon roll or egg muffin would be a better alternative, and in doing so discouraged the selection of avocados,” the ASA said.

There’s three groups you don’t fuck with in this world. Those groups are as follows: the mafia, Anonymous and Big Avocado. Cross any one of those three groups and you’re as good as dead. Because each of those three groups are dangerous and will go to any length in order to protect their reputation as the Big Bad Bullies On The Block. The first two are pretty obvious and have been wielding power for years while the third one has gained its power more recently but don’t mistake that for weakness. The mafia will have you murdered in broad daylight. Anonymous will make it so you can never show your face on the internet again. Big Avocado? Big Avocado will make you regret ever bringing up their delicious fruit in a negative way.

This UK coffee company learned that lesson the hard way when they made fun of avocados in their radio commercial. Big Avocado caught wind of it, smacked their giant green avocado dick on the table and got the commercial banned from the air waves. Don’t test Big Avocado unless you want the wrath. Avocados have all the juice right now because millennials love avocado toast and anybody who has the mind and the hearts of millennials has the power. Just ask Barstool Sports. Anyway. In case you didn’t know, don’t fuck with Big Avocado or Big Avocado will fuck you right back.
