12 Extremely Strange Customer Posts On Company Facebook Pages

“Embrace social media,” they said. “It’s a great way to grow your customer base,” they said. That might be true to an extent, but what the marketing experts fail to tell companies is that these handy, accessible corporate Facebook pages have a tendency to attract trolls, conspiracy theorists and the terminally bewildered like furious, baffled moths to a flame.

Despite this, the biggest firms try their best to engage with these timewasters. Their social media staff all deserve a pay rise. Hilary Wardle has found 12 of the strangest – and silliest – ones.

1. Let’s hope the Leith store takes note of Bob’s ‘feedback’.

2. Also known as ‘Saturday Night Gutter Remnants’ flavour…

3. It’s not clear why Steven felt the need to share this information with Iceland Foods. Maybe he was hoping for a free frozen party platter to use as an ice pack?

4. Hang on, maybe Shane’s onto something here. Those Christmas sprouts did look a bit mutated.

5. Little Chef ‘aren’t sure’ if this will be their new menu design, but you never know. Time will tell.

6. Good news: Innocent Drinks and Isaac are friends again. In fact, they’re thinking of moving in together.

7. Why would they, Gemma? Why would they?

8. Tony posts his own ideas for card designs and poems on the Clinton Cards Facebook page at least once a month. He’s been doing it for over a year. They never reply.

9. Huh indeed.

10. What Connor lacks in rhyming skills he makes up for by staying ‘on message’.

11. Napoleon bothers companies on Facebook fairly regularly. You can see more of his posts here.

12. Nigella’s recipes keep getting more and more complicated.
