It’s better than the sodas and fruit cocktail drinks pushed in schools. But more importantly, this product isn’t being sold in American schools, so your post is irrelevant.

A quick google dive shows that Plezi Nutrition was founded in 2023. Now, in 2024, the products have shelf space to be sold to consumers in every major grocery retail grocery store and online shopping website. Costso, walmart, target, amazon, HEB, etc. That’s amazing.

Was this a favor for a friend?

They have at least four 8-figure estate mansions and a doomsday bunker to pay for. Property taxes are skyrocketing.

I dunno. This seems like way below her pay grade. I guarantee she didn’t run this by her agent. She can hawk products for much better and more recognizable brands.

Smells a bit desperate…

Actually embarrassing for a First Lady to be hawking products at Costco.

I bet she has a sizable equity stake. Hence the retail hawking

There are zero sodas being pushed in schools and schools only offer 2% milk and whole fruit juice. No fruit cocktail drinks are served in schools.

Schools don’t offer soda or fruit drinks to students. They can offer low-fat milk, 100% fruit juice, and are mandated to offer water in the cafeteria with cups provided. Your information is wrong.

Schools cannot offer capri sun, fruit punch type drinks of any flavor, no Sunny D, or the like. I work in a school nutrition department that administers the federal school lunch program.

Hopefully it will do better than Trump wine.

I love her and I agree, PP! This is weird and seems off brand. Unlike other ways they've made $$$ thru producing movie context, etc.

Shilling a product to put cash in your pocket is really not classy.

Girl, I thought you were better than this. It’s embarrassing. They don’t need the money. So weird.

Maybe she does need the money 🤷

Could be a sign that things are not great in their marriage….

Fits right in the timeline for reaching "Idiocracy" movie levels sooner than expected.

"Welcome to Costco! We love you! Buy some Brawndo, It's the thirst mutilator and has what you crave!"

Trump has a vinyard? Interesting. Have a link for that?

This is disappointing.
