If you thought the holiday season complaints would end with the Starbucks cup saga of 2015, think again. Social media is buzzing with grievances about Reese’s Christmas tree candies, with some claiming they do not look sufficiently tree-like. Instead of a perfectly shaped holiday tree, these beloved treats appear more like amorphous blobs. Yes, people are genuinely upset about this.
When you unwrap a delightful Reese’s candy that, apart from its shape, fulfills every promise on the packaging, do you complain? Or do you happily savor it, indulging in that blissful peanut butter-chocolate combination before moving on with your day? Most would choose the latter, but some felt compelled to inform Reese’s that their “tree” shape was a letdown.
Interestingly, this isn’t a new issue. A quick search shows complaints about the shape of Reese’s trees have been circulating for years. In fact, there are tweets from the previous year highlighting the same concerns. However, the volume of complaints this year seems to have surged, suggesting a trend of social media users venting their frustrations about trivial matters. While this may not reach the heated debate surrounding the Starbucks holiday cup, it’s indicative of a broader pattern. Individuals seem to feel empowered to voice their grievances, no matter how insignificant.
In today’s digital era, it’s all too easy for consumers to reach out to companies and expect immediate responses. In reaction to the outcry over the so-called “blob-like” Reese’s trees, the company issued an apology. Wouldn’t it be nice to have such a carefree life that you could spend time on Twitter criticizing the shape of your candy? As long as it’s not moldy or infested with bugs, how about just enjoying it and moving on? Can we make an effort to be a bit kinder? It reflects poorly on society when something as trivial as a chocolate tree shape can cause such uproar.
