So mostly the marketing was the issue for you? I’m game to try just about any food once but I think it’s weird how labels are attached to people once they eat it.
What about price?
Like price of the product would make someone a yuppie? I could see that if someone only ate them because they are expensive. Like folks that only drink specific bottled water because it makes them look richer. I like to eat honey crisp apples because they are worth the extra cost because they taste so darn good, but I don’t think that would make someone a yuppie. More of a conspicuous consumption factor I guess? Good question.
I dunno I just feel like an insect protein bar all packaged up and retailed for a lot of money appeals to a certain demographic. This isn’t the blue shirt labour class buying this crap. They’re eating whatever their wife/husband made for them and then going home I guess. But I can definitely see upper-middle/upper class detached 5 bedroom house owning yoga aficionado buying this by the crate and giving themselves a pat on the back for being so “advanced”
