Bisquick's tone-deaf debate tweet can't even be improved with butter
Never trust a breakfast food with your politics coverage.
Everyone knows the best way for a brand to follow up vulgar comments about unwanted groping and sexual assault allegations is with pancakes and waffles. That's not true. Not.at.all. But no one told Bisquick.
The instant pancake brand got in on the online conversation around the presidential debate by starting a #PancakesvsWaffles hashtag on Twitter.

The response to the tone-deaf campaign was, well, quick.
Dear @Bisquick. Sit this one out. I get it. The debate's a promo opportunity. But not today not today. Get off my twitter feed.

Hey, @Bisquick, love you, but this is a marketing promotion that needed to be pulled. https://t.co/mWaFsOKvHk

Ew. @bisquick is milquetoast. @bisquick is for the intellectually and physically weak. People with tiny hands. And too much spray tan. https://t.co/MDlssP5G3m

Yes, we all need a mental break from politics every once in a while, but maybe it's a good night to focus on the issues. Also, pancakes for ever. Duh.
