Hopefully they root out the downplaying of the brain stroke and oz can explain how serious it is.

We can all nit pick at the details but this is relatable and it's not like he bought a bunch of expensive cheeses and wines at whole foods. This ad hits home.
True. Oz shopped at Wegner’s, beloved by the common man.

Yes, and also, in general, people in the US tend to use French words in when they are trying to be fancy and sophisticated. When I planned my wedding, the caterer offered "crudité" for the cocktail hour. Otherwise, it's not a word I see or hear much. Having a party at the country club, inviting the CEOs and their spouses over for dinner, or going out to someone's house in the Hamptons? Then, sure, use the word crudité. Otherwise, if you're eating at home, having your friends over for dinner, or going to the neighborhood block party, it's a vegetable tray. And as a native Pennsylvanian, I think I can say, frankly, that unless you're from the Main Line or Society Hill or the Pittsburgh equivalent, most Pennsylvanians would say, "WTF is he talking about?" even if they know what the word means. Because no one talks like that.
There was more important stupidity than using that word:
He misstated the store's name - so he probably knows Wegmans and mixed up!
He bought some weird combinations of vegetables, quantities, and condiments for the vegetable tray - probably has clue.
Who drinks toquilla with vegetables?
He did not have a cart or basket - so this was a stunt.
Stupid ad stunt by an out-of-touch millionaire!
Yeah, so many questions! Why did his staff not correct his incorrect name of the store? Was he drinking toquilla because he was having salsa and guacamole, and he thought he'd go with a Mexican theme? Why such a huge bag of carrots? Why didn't he have one of those little red hand baskets? Did he really buy those items or did he put them back after he made the video?
How awful is his team? If he misspoke during a live shot it would be understandable. But why they would film it and post it without realizing or caring that he messed up…tone deaf.
The fact that no one caught his mistake shows that his team is incompetent and even they are not local to PA.

So the rich guy buying the wrong vegetables, in the wrong quantities, with pre-made "dips" that don't go with any of it, is relatable?
