The beverage manufacturer “True Fruits” produced various smoothies for the upcoming federal election and gave them party names. However, not all of them will be available at Edeka.
In the run-up to the federal election on September 26th of this year, the beverage manufacturer “True Fruits” considered offering its smoothie bottles in six versions. One each with the names of all parties currently represented in the Bundestag. The supermarket chain Edeka will only be able to buy five of the six versions. Edeka explicitly wants to do without the AfD bottles.
Edeka: “AfD bottles are going back”
“True Fruits” initially announced on Facebook without a word that they were “spoiled for choice” and posted a photo of his newly designed smoothie bottles with the hastags # selectively # wählkeineverkauf # btw21. Both happy comments followed promptly – for example from a user who thought it was a “cool idea!” finds – as well as numerous negative requests to speak.
Another user wrote for example: “By printing the election manifesto of a fascist, homophobic, ethnic, misogynistic and chauvinist party, you are helping to present such a disgusting party and ideas as normal. Simply the last …”
Edeka itself also responded immediately to the beverage manufacturer’s announcement and announced that it would not offer the AfD bottles in the branches: “Thank you for your new delivery,” Edeka also wrote via Facebook, “but we did not order the AfD bottles, they go back again!” Edeka provides the reason for the rejection in the same post by means of the printed “There is no space on the shelf with us” at the same time.
“Dirty shop”
Here too, reactions were not long in coming. “Thank you for this clear position,” said a customer, for example, in a comment under Edeka’s posting. Another described the supermarket chain as a “dirty shop” because of the campaign. Finally, “True Fruits” reacted again to Edeka and justified the production of the new bottles: “Education is more important than embarrassing social signaling like you are trying to do here”, one hopes that “your rash attack will at least lead to as many as possible People grapple with the parties and make a deliberate choice “.
