Forever 21 is sending diet bars with clothes you order and that’s so insensitive holy crap like…. how about we don’t make someone negatively reflect on their body image when trying to just order some new outfits ? ????These Atkins bars are marketed as “snacks,” but the Atkins website advertises the bars as a way to “treat yourself without worrying about your carb count.
Plus, it just invites those customers to question and critique their bodies. Trying on clothes is a vulnerable activity for many women who struggle with their body image. Imagine if you were in the fitting room trying things on, and a store employee knocked on the door and handed you a diet bar, saying, “I just thought you might like this.” You would be horrified, right? This isn’t really any different from that..
“From time to time, Forever 21 surprises our customers with free test products from third parties in their e-commerce orders,” it read. “The freebie items in question were included in all online orders, across all sizes and categories, for a limited time and have since been removed. This was an oversight on our part and we sincerely apologize for any offense this may have caused to our customers, as this was not our intention in any way.
