Shots Fired: Oscar Mayer Just Released A Whole Ad Campaign Going After Tylenol For Not Tasting Like Hot DogsMeat company Oscar Mayer released a brutal new ad campaign this morning slamming Tylenol for not tasting like hot dogs. From TV to print to web, the commercials take shots across the aisle and mercilessly rip into Tylenol for having a bland flavor that does not taste anything like the cold cut companys signature meats.
Brace yourselves, because these ads dont hold back:
Oof. Tylenol must be reeling right now.
The campaign, which cost Oscar Mayer hundreds of millions of dollars, threatens to destroy Tylenols reputation among both hot dog lovers and ballpark frank enthusiasts. The company pulled out all the stops during its brutal campaign today, from buying costly prime-time commercial slots during NFL games to starting some absolutely cringe-worthy Twitter wars with Tylenol.
Just check out this snarky guide Oscar Mayer created to teach Tylenol customers how to switch to hot dogs.
Yikes. Needless to say, Tylenols marketing department better come up with a response fast, because its brand definitely does not look good right now. In the war between Oscar Mayer and Tylenol, theres no doubt that Oscar Mayer scored a huge victory today.

(11,843 posts)It's good with crackers and cheese, but it doesn't work for me as a sandwich meat. Klements and others like it are a more coarse grind and more akin to hard salami.

And Ambassador is the smaller size, but it's a finer grind.

(9,273 posts)At least for now. Only available in *some* Walmarts. Not the one closest to me of course, but I stock up when I'm passing by the other Walmart. I feel your pain, they must make 30 kinds of hot dogs and stopped making the delicious one. But it's back, for now anyway.
