Will Corry‘s insight: Get to the Tesco special offers quickly. They won’t be there Furlong! Score 5 to 2 on. After revelations about burgers on sale in Tesco containing 29% horse meat hit the news on Wednesday, the hashtag #TescoProducts went ballistic, with hundreds of jokes and humorous comments flying around the network. Horse meat in food meant for human consumption isn’t a laughing matter. But try telling Twitter that. Previously in theMarketingblog
“Horsemeat has been found in #TescoProducts, but a spokesman says it’s bollocks”, said one person. “A woman has been taken to hospital after eating horsemeatburgers. Her condition is said to be stable”, said another. “Are you in favour of Horsemeat in your burgers? Yay or Neigh?”, cracked someone else. And “Scientist: Sir, we’ve discovered horse meat in your burgers. Tesco boss: Why the long face?”, joked another.
One joker filmed a video of a pantomime horse mourning the loss of his parents in a Tesco aisle! I even got in on the action myself yesterday, tweeting “Horses for courses #TescoProducts” when referencing how people have preferences for different social media platforms. And on, and on, and on… more…..
Thanks to Tesco’s, everyone will now be asking themselves: “To eat or not to eat, is that equestrian?” #TescoProducts@thepoke — Word Bird (@KathyEvan5) January 16, 2013
