What is with the naming of products now?
Is this an issue of utterly stupid and gay executives naming products or corporations appealing to Gen Y/Z rubes who are absolute suckers for these types of marketing gimmicks? Examples:

Frozen vegetables -> New Veggie Steamers!
Carrot sticks -> New Fresh Sliced Carrot Dippers!
Double Cheeseburger -> New Cheesy Beefy Stackers
Tendies -> New Breaded Chicken Cravers
Pretzel -> New Salted Sourdough Twisters
Bread -> New Baked Yeasty Munchers
Fries -> New Crispy Potato Dunkers
Sliced Cheese -> New Creamy Dreamy Melters
Sandwich -> New Six-Layer Snackers
Tortilla Chips -> New Fiesta Corn Crunchers
Mint shake -> New Wintry Peppermint Holiday Tasters
Burrito -> New Spicy Meaty Veggie Wrappers
Beef Jerky -> New Old-Style Teriyaki Spicy Dried Chompers

My opinion is that Millennials/GenZ's are incapable of buying anything unless it's in meme-form.

This. See also the legions of drooling NPCs who go nuts whenever a massive corporation posts an epic meme on Twitter.

You gotta be hip with the kids, faggot. Just look at that trash, a tablet with apps AND a txt bubble. If you're 8 and you don't have a tablet and 3 iPhones, you ain't SHIT.

It gives meaning to people whose lives are empty, drained of their life force, culture, history so they can carry on making shekels for the Jews. Now get back to work soyboy

Ever taken one of those consumer surveys?

>What word appeals to you the most when thinking about our product?

A. Creamy
B. Dreamy
C. Luxurious
D. Savoury

Upon answering you are one tiny byte of data that is part of an incredibly sophisticated statistical method that massive corporations use to attract the meaty part of the bell curve of human beings existing under their sphere of their influence.

It's a product of an over reliance on focus group testing by clueless advertising execs who have no idea what to name the shit they shill because they subsist solely on cocaine and caviar.

It's not millenials actually. As a European I often get surprised at how many meme-named American foods actually date all the way back to post-war times and even further back. You've always been a nation of children I'm afraid.

An amusing example of the opposite i saw in an ad the other day for prepackaged pepperoni wraps or something, it was called "Hormel snacking product $2.99"
Lol
