Oats Overnight Wants Me to Bring Breakfast Back to the Office
That’s a big no from me
I’ll be honest — most of the time, I kind of enjoy my alarmingly specific personalized ads. They’re fun when they’re right and hiliarous when they’re wrong. But every now and again, one of these ads infuriates me with its insinuations about the kind of person I am or even aspire to be.
The brand Oats Overnight has been stalking me online for some time. I suspect it’s because I do ridiculous things like order the fancy gluten free cookies I fell in love with online when my grocery store(s) of choice stopped carrying them. I have taught the internet far more about my food habits than it ever needs to know, and it behaves accordingly.
I’m sorry if you’re a loyal customer of the double O, but I have to say, this product has always struck me as slightly ridiculous. I make overnight oats at home all the time. They’re easy to prep the night before and leave in your fridge. Pinterest abounds with recipes in every flavor combination your heart could desire, and most recipes use only a few basic ingredients. That is the appeal of overnight oats. Simple, fast, ready to go when you wake up in the morning.
Given my personal circumstances in life, I do not see the need to pay an upcharge for little packets with the ingredients…
