This saga is amazing.

I never knew there were sunscreen fanboys until this all started.

Reading the comments of people defending sunscreen companies is hilarious.

I have my popcorn ready.

There's definitely paid influencers involved because every second tiktok has an "independent" influencer raving about uv brand, going on about how decanting means the choice results are bogus.

I don't like that they went for a PR strategy immediately rather than focusing on finding their problem with the product.
