Brand representatives say they were surprised by the amount of homophobia in the post. The company did not want to remain passive and decided to transfer PLN 10 to KPH for every unpleasant comment under the entry.

– The overall sci-fi and surprise for us was what we saw in the Wednesday post, all thanks to the photo showing love. Because for us it is just love. Our campaign and the product itself are aimed at everyone, so an eclectic approach to the society in which we live and trying to charm reality is pointless. We wanted to show the people around us and we did. What do we not want? To remain negative for evil in the comments, which is why we made it a good thing. This is how the idea of ​​the action was born, where every hate comment has the opposite effect – it supports the people against whom this hate is directed – sums up Thomas Tchaikovsky, a member of the Board of Directors of Dr. Pro, citing “Nowy Marketing”.

This action also sparked a reaction in the form of a wave of positive comments. “I’ll have the whole package,” “I think I’ll buy it, though I don’t drink beer” – some sounded.
