Right on the heels of Kim Kardashian's ridiculous lollipop promotion, past, present, and perhaps future Teen Mom stars are coming out of the woodwork to promote "appetite-suppressing" lollipops.
No one's favorite reality stars, Farrah Abraham and Jenelle Evans, are getting slammed for plugging these weight-loss lollipops.
Even Farrah's replacement is endorsing them. And fans are roasting them all for it.
Continuing the tradition of millionaires who've had plastic surgery promoting weight loss products to their fans, Farrah Abraham posted a (genuinely good) pic of herself.
And her caption was ... not the subtlest product endorsement that we've ever seen.
"#ad They’re like lollipops, but better. @flattummyco has figured out how to suppress my appetite with freaking LOLLIPOPS and it’s seriously the best thing ever."
Uh-huh.
"I’ve been taking them with me everywhere, and keeping extras in my purse and car too."
Don't keep lollipops in your car, folks. They melt in hot weather and it's a disaster. We assume that these lollipops work the same way.
"I tend to grab one between lunch and dinner when I need a little something to hold me over, and it totally does the trick."
... Sure.
"Keeps me from reaching for those not-so-healthy snacks. You guys seriously need to check these out! #flattummypops"
While the world over hopes that no one, least of all teenage girls, looks to Farrah for advice on anything, if her Instagram audience didn't seem like a viable market for these, she would be paid to advertise them.
Followers were outraged to see Farrah endorsing what they believe to be harmful or even dangerous product.
"This is disgusting. You have so many young women following you, that by you supporting these, you are feeding into the idea that starving yourself is fine."
There are types of weight loss that are fine or even healthy, but starving yourself can do serious harm or even claim your life.
"Please god tell me you don't let your daughter use these! Why advertise sweets/candy that promotes weight loss! Disgusting."
She almost certainly doesn't let Sophia use them. She also almost certainly doesn't use them herself. She's (reasonably) rich. She uses an expensive diet, exercise, and plastic surgery.
"That's a good thing to show your daughter.. 'eat these lollipops and you won't be fat.'"
One could almost believe that this person was praising her, but fortunately they were not endorsing this mindset.
"Disgusting example of a mother and a woman. A proper diet and exercise is what you should be [promoting]... not something to make you feel full."
Hey, since Farrah was fired, we guess that she's not going to turn down an advertising opportunity.
While Jenelle Evans is still technically a Teen Mom star, we guess, her husband was fired for being the worst. And she's playing the ad game, too.
"#ad I never thought I’d see the day that @flattummyco came out with LOLLIPOPS as a way to help keep my stomach looking flat, but they did!"
Thankfully, they have the "#ad" tag in case someone thought that she just woke up with a strong desire to push lollipops.
"Since I have a massive sweet-tooth and I’m pretty much always chasing one of my kids around, this is pretty much the best it can get for me (yummy and convenient)!"
Maybe one day, her brood will run fast enough to escape to a better life. That was supposed to be burn but ... we just made ourselves sad.
"I get to have lollipops, keep my appetite in-check, and continue to work towards my goals for a fit + toned tummy."
Sure.
"Yep, my cravings can #suckit. You guys should try these out with me - berry is definitely my favorite! #flattummypops"
Charming.
Some of the criticisms aimed towards Jenelle were very, very specific.
"None of this is true. Meth keeps her stomach flat."
That's ... not Jenelle's weight loss secret. But a number of those familiar with Jenelle got a laugh out of it.
Another asked if there exists a lollipop that might assist Jenelle to prevent her from "having kids with every man your with."
Ooooh, burn.
"When you copy and paste farrah’s and mackenzie’s post and make it into one."
Yes, even Farrah's expected replacement McKenzie McKee is playing this game.
Mackenzie McKee, who is known for her dedication to fitness, is also promoting the lollipop.
"#ad I never thought I’d see the day that @flattummyco came out with these tasty lollipops as a way to help keep my stomach looking flat."
Oh, so they weren't kidding. Jenelle's starts the exact same way.
"And since I have a massive sweet-tooth, this is pretty much the best it can get for me (sorry kids, these lollipops are mine!)."
At least she's taking a firm stand against children using them.
"I get to have lollipops, keep my appetite in-check, and continue to work towards my goals for a fit + toned tummy."
They even both used the plus sign. Who helped Jenelle write her caption? Melania Trump?
"Yep, my cravings can #suckit. You guys should try these out with me - berry is definitely my favorite! #flattummypops"
Look, everybody needs to make money. But a lot of fans are crushed to see these women advertise these particular products.
