It took less than a week for the restaurant chain to pivot back, and it is yet another marketing blunder for corporate America.
We're not questioning Masino's intelligence, but many in corporate America have already learned, after Bud Light nearly destroyed itself a few years ago with an ad campaign featuring a male TikToker pretending to be a woman. The saying goes, "go woke, go broke."
