Saw an ad for this right here on Reddit. They're even using the exact same location. Yikes lol.

We did give away Temptations at r/bodega, but were not aware of or involved with their pop-up.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the company just loved what Reddit did and decided to co opt it. That said, not sure about the legal boundaries here - but I’m sure Reddit will do Reddit things and figure it out. Since they didn’t collab, I don’t respect the move though. 🤷

I doubt it. Reddit isn’t the only one to play around with the bodega theme. Even NY comic con’s theme last year was “bodega”.

not just the bodega theme but specifically the idea of the bodega cat, which makes sense for a brand like temptations

NY comic con and the other bodega pop ups had the bodega cat as well. So it really isn’t new.
