Successful product launches require careful consideration of timing, context, and market sensitivity; launching products related to sensitive events (like wildfires) or using outdated concepts (like matches) can result in significant public backlash and business failure, even for high-profile brands.

Meghan Launches MATCHES After Getting Torched Over California Wildfires As Ever's Dumbest Drop YetAdded:
She got absolutely torched over the tonedeaf handling of the California wildfires, but Megan decides the smartest move for as ever is to launch matches.
You really can't make this stuff up. Hey guys, welcome back to RHR Jen. I'm so glad you're here. Today I'm taking a look at the memes that have come out and some more just some more things I want to talk about with this match disaster that she's got going on over at As ever.
Make sure you're subscribed, hit the thumbs up and leave me comments as all of those helps YouTube to recommend my videos and I sincerely appreciate that.
I know you know, but in case you don't, Megan is now selling matches. You can't just individually buy the matches, but she's thinking for whatever reason, these matches are going to push her bundles over the top and make them sell magically. Magically. Anyway, I can't stop laughing about it. So, I thought, let's take a look at some funny memes.
Now, before I get into that, there's just a couple of things that I wanted to say that have hit me since the last video that I made. And in case you missed it, I've got the thumbnail here.
go back and watch this video where I dive into the problems with what she's doing, the matches, the bundles, all of that. So, definitely go check that out in case you missed it. But yeah, let's talk a little bit more about the matches because the internet is reacting and I've pulled some of the best reactions. But just something that I wanted to bring to your attention is this. Now, if you're like, "What is this?" Oh, let me fill you in.
This is an ad she did back in the day, I believe, back in the days of the TIG way with Yeah, there you go. Back in the days of the TIG, June 2015, it looks like she did this ad. Everybody poos.
Three drops of ASOP poo drops. It's like the PooPourri before sitting will take the shame out of the game by deodorizing the Okay, you get it. Okay, now she's selling matches. I mean, you get it, right? Everything about her revolves around poop.
I'll let you decide what to do with that gh. I hate poop humor. But uh let's take a look though at some other things that people are reacting to. I'm just so stuck on how stupid this is. In case you missed it, here are the matches of course that are supposed to help drive the sales of the candle. Now, something I want to talk about. People are absolutely dragging the size of the matchbox. It looks bigger than the tiny candle jars in photos. So, just a reminder, those candles are very small and very expensive. Again, $64. But the matches appear to be huge. It's like she's trying to make the matchbox the main character. Um, the wooden matches, they appear, people are zooming in and taking a look. They appear to look cheap, misshapen, and very low quality.
Shocker to nobody. accusations of cheap overseas manufacturing with massive markup. I believe that is the case. Of course, wickless candles are and complaints are exploding again.
So, you're getting fancy matches for candles that have no wick.
What are you going to do with that? And again, as somebody who prides herself on what, internet safety, she's recently posted pictures of sticking candles in a cabinet, lit candles, and now again, the these huge candles and sending I'm sorry, the huge matches and sending matches through the mail. I've been through how that's hazardous material.
It's just one hypocrisy and cliche and disaster after another and I'm stuck on this wildfire thing and how much they rightly so got backlash. Why oh why would you associate yourself with candle candles and matches? I can't make any sense out of it unless it's to change the Google algorithm. You can let me know. I didn't think about that until now. Is it to change the Google algorithm? Is that what she's trying to do with this? because that's a piss poor way to go about it. Burning bridges. I talked about that. The she's advertising her services for match.com. I'm not sure, but it's lighting up another failed launch. All the things, right?
But here you go. There are the matches.
But let's talk about some of the internet's best reactions to this.
Princess Car Parkle, friend of the show, said, "Seriously, matchixs as ever." I know. I can't stop laughing about it either. All right. And then somebody made this. Comes with a bonus. Harry's cotton balls. Gh. No thank you. Nobody wants that. As ever.
At this point, she literally sells containers, not products. She doesn't care what's inside and what's being sold, etc. As long as the facade, the box outside looks like a luxury item.
So, she can fool her dimwits out there to buy the pricey moronic products.
Yeah, I do think that there's something to that. And I always say like there's no substance. It's all about the look of things, never the substance. Even the packaging versus the the what the jams, sorry, not jam spreads themselves. She goes into this ornate, elaborate, nonsensical packaging that she's saying you can use as a time capsule, but the the consistency of that runny spread is so disgusting. maybe focus a little bit more on that than the packaging that it comes in.
She sounds like the Jay Peterman catalog. If you're a fan of Seinfeld, you get it. It's hilarious. Or see Elaine Bennis from Seinfeld. Uh, regarding the Urban Sombrero.
Absolutely. G Peterman, that's so funny.
Just what we all needed. Luxurious matchsticks. I know. I Canankerous, excuse me, not me. Canankerous said in the last video, "We don't need that. We have other solutions such as this."
Right, Canankerous? Right. Okay. Yeah, it makes no sense. We don't It's a She's always creating problems that weren't there and solutions that nobody needed.
So, here we are yet again. So, it looks like these As ever matchics come with a bundle. You can't buy them separately.
Damn it. Now, my week is ruined. Keep in mind, although uh they want you to think it's a big thing of matches, these candles are only 4.5 in tall. They're small. Thank you, Princess Car Parkle.
And just a reminder, this stupid bundle, I have it here. Hold on. Bear with that stupid bundle with the two candles and the matchick is called the garden duo.
And hold on, I have it. The Garden Duo will set you back, what does it say?
$128.
That's the cheapest bundle. How about that?
Don't you want to rush right out and buy? No, me neither. Okay, let's go back to where we were. All right, Meg thinks that by adding matches, her will sell out immediately.
I said the same thing. Why oh why if they're not buying your overpriced garbage would a match a book of matches put that over the edge? I don't know. A box of matches. I don't know. It doesn't make any sense. Well, if Harry and Megan's mansion in Monaceto ever burns, they try to collect the insurance payout. I suggest the fraud assessors look for those matches as an ignition source.
Do you start your mornings like this?
Yeah. So, this is the morning ritual post um advertisement that she posted again. Let me pull up the price on this guy. The morning ritual will set you back um let's see here. I'm trying to make that bigger. Hold on.
That will set you back $110. Oh, that's basically a bargain, right? $110 for the more I'm sorry. When I hear morning ritual, does anybody else think of bathroom behavior? I do. I don't think of this. But seriously, what is this? It's just a mess. It's messy. This is like her outfit in a nutshell. Any outfit of hers in a nutshell. It's just messy and chaotic. And what am I looking at? Look at the matches. Look at the mess. The flower sprinkles. What are we doing? Gh. Who doesn't start their day by laying out random objects on their counter and spilling dead flower petals around before capturing them on film?
She's so pretentious it's nauseating.
Next she will show us how to heat tea with her magic wickless candle.
Probably so.
Megan Oh, this is according to Taz.
Megan is working her way through the Alibaba website ordering lots of cheap blank with her logo and putting huge markups on it. I believe that that is the case. Yes, I think so. Sir Griffot, great name, says she's going with a more personalized scent for the anniversary candle.
This smells like Harry's pubes. Oh, gross.
All right. Again, yep, I said the same thing. Who uses matches to light candles or anything for that matter? I love my giant Bick lighter. They last forever.
Exactly. Same here. And I don't burn my fingers. Don't burn my fingers. So, there's that. Megan's motto. Buy cheap, sell at ridiculous prices. Boring. Yep, I think so, too.
The matches are for her dumpster fire.
That made me laugh because I always say um I was saying that Harry's the dumpster fire. She's the gasoline port on top, but yeah, she's a dumpster fire, too. Absolutely agree. I get my matches for free at fancy restaurants. That's such a good point. Yeah, absolutely.
Yep. Well, Alibaba Markle strikes again.
There you go. Yep. I think so, too.
OMG, more slow mornings. When an when in actual hell is she going to have a normal morning? Nothing is ever just normal, if you will. Everything is the most dramatic, the biggest, the it's like over the top. So, yeah, everything has to be dramaticized. I can't stop laughing at this in relation to matchboxes. Shall we take a look at curated?
Because that's what her f one of her favorite words that she uses over and over is curated. Curated means carefully selected, organized, and thoughtfully presented by an expert or someone with specialized knowledge. It transforms a scattered, overwhelming collection of items or information into meaningful, highquality, and easy to digest experience. Well, I can fill in a gap here as well. I just realized this is smeared. I can fill in a gap for you as well. So, a trendy thing right now, not that I pretend that I know what trends, but I've heard on a lot of p podcasts I listen to and things, they talk about a curated wardrobe. It's just a thing right now, like pulling pieces for a seasonal curated wardrobe. It's just a big word. I see it a lot on uh like Instagram reels and things like that. Well, they can be learning how to use Instagram. But I see that term a lot. Curated looks, curated wardrobe.
So, she's using curated for matches.
Sure. Is she an expert? Well, it's setting things on fire. Sure. Burning bridges. Oh my god, I could not stop laughing at this. Okay, so that one posted this. When you're a British prince and your wife starts selling matches online. So, if you're not familiar, the original picture of exactly this is Ben Affleck. So, it's Ben they he's been Affleck's body and put Harry's head on it. It's so funny to me. Um I think this is in the thick of when Ben was going through drama with Jen. Right. So, the second Jen, not the first Jen. Um so, here they put Harry's head on it. I think that's here's the original picture here with Ben Affleck and then here's Harry. I thought that was brilliant. Brilliantly done. Bullet rolls will be next. I think so too. This idiot is now fgging luxury matches to light her wickless candles. Every day there seems to be a new low as ever.
Absolutely. I say the same. The more they do crazy things, the more she has to put out more crazy things to get attention off the previous crazy things. And there the cycle repeats itself. I love that picture of her so much. Using an overpriced match to try to light a wickless candle is the perfect metaphor for MM's pursuit of extreme wealth and outrageous stardom. It's fruitless. I thought that was such a good point.
That's exactly it. I think so.
Definitely going to make her a billionaire.
Yep. I'm sure it is. Matches are very 1970s. I thought this was a great point.
Again, we have the attack of the balloon arch. She comes up with these thing or shakurerie board. She comes up with these things that are already things but very outdated and then tries to make them her thing. It's quite odd. Okay. Um let's see. What even are luxury matches?
Do they like themselves or something? I don't know. Maybe. Give her enough space. She'll continuously embarrass herself. Harry Markle doesn't seem to mind at all. just trails along after her. Absolutely. And every day I'll be here watching karma wrap things up nicely. Luxury matches for wickless candles. Honestly, you couldn't script a better punchline. Agree completely. All right, this is where I need you guys to chime in in the comments and let me know what is the point of all this. I know, what's the point of any of it? But I'm stuck on this matches thing. There's always something. I was thinking, did H Highrove do something like this? No, it's No, they didn't. Um, is is she trying to overshadow somebody? Probably.
Always that seems to be the case. And then I got to thinking about the wildfires thing. Is it just a way to change fires? I don't know.
Let me know. It's absolutely crazy. No way is she dumb enough to think that these matches are going to convince people to buy her way overpriced candles. I mean, she's got terrible ideas, but this has to rank up there as one of the worst. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Let me know your thoughts on the matches.
I always forget that those candles are so small because the way she photo they they're photographed, they look bigger.
They're so small and those candles appear I keep calling them candles.
Those matches appear to be so big. Let me know your thoughts on that and whatever else you want to let me know.
Thank you guys so much for being here. I really appreciate it. Thank you for all the ways in which you support my channel. It means the world to me. Let me know everything on your mind. And uh as she does more crazy things, you know, I'm going to talk about it. If you want to further support the channel, there are several ways to do it. Check out my merch. I've got Everything's Fine, Team Catherine. I've got the Flock and so much more. Um and then check out my Patreon. patreon.comrealhousewives recaps. It's my old name, but it's got tons of new stuff. tons of bonus content. I went off on these matches the other day so you can find that if you're interested. And um yeah, it's a lot of fun over there. Check that out and then um click on my Amazon links if you feel like it. That helps. But that's going to do it for me. Thank you guys for being here. I can't wait to bring you more stuff like this. Take care. Bye-bye.
Hi.
What do you think? Can Oh, can's crown fell off. He just can't even He can't even I'm sorry. Let me put on my crown and then we'll get tan Cananker's. My mom just told me she likes it when I put on my crown. So, hi mom. This is for you. Okay. Put on Canankerous's crown, too. There you go. Canankerous. What do you think?
We think it's really dumb. Really dumb.
How are matches going to help sell candles?
That is something. Again, that's such a good point about you can get those from nice restaurants sometimes, but is that even something that people give out anymore? It just seems very antiquated.
There are much more interesting chachkis or, you know, freebies that people can give away and it's not this, you know, even if it wasn't Megan, just from a I'm going to put you down, Kinkerus. Okay. Even from a business point of view, I just think this is really dumb. What is the match going to do for her? That's why I start to think, oh, is she trying to change the Google search results? There's got to be something else that I'm missing here.
Let me know what you think in the comments. I'm dying to read your comments on this one. I'm always dying to read your comments, but I really want to know what you think is really going on here. That's a lot of really All right, that's going to do it for me.
Thank you guys so much for being here. I really appreciate Oh, can you can come back now. Thank you guys for being here.
I really appreciate it. I can't wait to bring you more stuff like this. I can't wait for Cananker to make more appearances. I love how many of you love Cananker. That's so fun. And um yeah, I hope you guys have the best day. I'll talk to you again soon. Bye bye.
I'm talking to a goose. Sure. Actually, I'm talking to almost 200,000 geese.
Hong Kong. Bye.
Oh goodness.
