The Bad
Birds Eye Uk has come under some heat for its latest advertising campaign for ‘chicken dipper canapés’, the ad suggests turning chicken nuggets into canapés as a part of their “Mix Up Your Menu” Campaign.

Social media had a field day over the deep-fried nuggets of joy.
Canapés made with chicken dippers & potato waffles. Seriously? @BirdsEyeUK

I think I’ve just seen someone suggest birds eye chicken dippers could be used as party canapés… #wtf #WhatDoYouMean — Frankie Bellingham (@LeFrankieJuice) August 7, 2015
Things I’ve learned so far from my day off – Birdseye are encouraging us to use chicken dippers on toast as canapés.

Can’t tell if the @BirdsEyeUK advert is being ironic with its “very civilized” chicken dipper canapes… — Katherine (@LadyKatherine95) August 11, 2015

The Ugly
The Dollar Beard Club is a company which provides members with low-cost shipments of beard goop-balms, waxes, shampoos and oils. We don’t like this ad because no one on the office can grow a hipster beard.
