Last Sunday’s “The White Lotus” finale stunned viewers, including an unlikely party—Coffee Mate.
- The brand had unknowingly partnered with the show for two special edition creamers back in January.
- Viewers were shocked to find a beverage playing a dramatic role in the season’s climax.
- Social media buzzed with memes and reactions to the unforeseen product placement.
- Fans are now hesitant to try the Piña Colada flavour because of its sinister television connection.
Coffee Mate found itself at the centre of a social media storm following the unexpected role its product played in the finale of “The White Lotus.” The brand was unaware of the significant plot twist involving their creamers, finalized months ago when collaborating with Mike White’s production.
The final episode featured a pivotal scene where a beverage became central to an intense moment, leaving Coffee Mate surprised and part of the conversation online. The company had no insight into the script details when they agreed on the flavour collaboration with HBO.
On Instagram, Coffee Mate shared their surprise with a humorous post, reflecting on how their flavour announcement in January subtly linked to the show’s storyline. “We had no idea the pivotal role it would play!” a spokesperson confirmed.
As reactions poured in across various platforms, it became clear the Piña Colada flavour unintentionally took on a new meaning, causing fans to associate it with on-screen drama.
Despite the buzz, it remains unclear if this exposure will affect sales figures for the flavour, with some consumers expressing hesitance due to the show’s plot. The company cheekily noted, “Piña Colada did not scream ‘serenity’ in the end.”
Only time will tell how this unexpected spotlight will affect the fan-favourite creamer’s reputation.
