How many millions did they pay to some yuppie marketing firm to come up with this jack-assery.
Most regulatory agencies classify Chilean sea bass as “overfished,”...

They changed the name to something which is morally not cool to eat.
Did they put an an "AI" in charge of marketing?
temporarily
I knew it!
"Chilean Sea Bass? Ok, The Onion is losing their touch. Yes, it's absurd, but it's unrealistic. This wouldn't happen in real life."
Not the onion
........wait, what?
How does this appeal to people? I like goldfish the same. Though Whales are cheaper and taste okie.
Well I don't even like goldfish crackers but if I can I will buy some for other people. That name makes them the perfect guest offering
Hear that everyone? Hunt for whales!
Baked Chilean Sea Bass crackers sounds dank as fuck.
They're temporarily renaming them "Chilean Sea Bass Crackers".
For one week. And they can only be bought online.
I thought you were joking. How is this not the Onion?
It's nottheonion 🙃
Edit: also it's marketing! It works. It got us talking about a snack product that no one ever talks about. We're doing it right now.
i was just talking about goldfish two days ago
Unfortunately thinking about them dredges up memories of the taste of cardboard. So I will not be buying them.
Well, it's clear they've spared no expense.
Thank you.
Who here actually thinks "goldfish? That's for kids."
Elon Musk didn't buy the company did he? This is the dumbest business decision since he changed Twitter's name to X.
Or did someone just post their April fool's joke way too late?
How do these dumbass decisions keep getting made? That is the most recognizable fish cracker out there. Are they looking to Musk for ideas? Fire your marketing team, they're blowing your budget on cocaine.
It’s just a marketing joke like iHop did a few years ago
A shocking amount of publications are not mentioning its for a limited time. Maybe I missed it in this article.
Adults already have cheez-its though
Often imitated but never duplicated.
A sea bass? No, wait - it's at least a C+!
Throws 400 bells at you.
The duck is wrong with goldfish?? Someone shoot the marketing manager for this idea
Yay capitalism. If you're fading into irrelevance to the point that you print less bags in order to drum up a false sense of scarcity then your product sucks and you should feel bad. Thirst trap gimmicky
Aw man, no Patagonian Toothfish crackers. Again!
Are they at least ill-tempered?
Chilean Mutant Sea Bass Crackers
They could at least strap a frickin laser beam on their head
This is fish the they chose?
If I had to choose between adult and child vibes I’d say this fish leans adult
This fish fucks!
I had to check to make sure that this was not an old April Fools Day joke article.
The onion?
No.
April fools article?
No.
Did Elon Musk buy the company?
No.
Then I don't understand. Make it make sense!
Marketing gimmick. It's only for a week and only available online.
Slightly off topic, but my favorite April Fools will always be Google changing its name to Topeka and the city of Topeka, Kansas changing its name to Google.
Mostly because I was a teenager and totally bought it.
As far as I know, it's hot in Topeka
Also not April 1 as far as I know. Do companies want a second day in October for a second round of jokes?
Article from 6 months from now:
"Cracker maker Pepperidge Farms filed for a motion to dismiss the class action lawsuit brought against the company by buyers of its 'Chilean Sea Bass Crackers' and the FDA, and the FTC. The crackers contained zero Chilean Sea Bass putting the company's actions clearly in the area of False Advertising and Fraud. When reached for comment the spokesperson for Pepperidge Farms responded 'Its just a prank, bro!'"
What? It's a funny reference to Jurassic Park!
