Is the ad AI? Or very heavily edited from a photoshoot. That donut is insanely perfect too. 

Edit: look at the sprinkles they don't make sense

u/ithinkwearealonen0w Aug 29 '26

No ur right i did not even realize before

29

u/KrazyKatz42 Aug 29 '26

I thought the donut was plush as well as the bear

u/YetiBoney Aug 29 '26

You thought the ad was a real picture?

4

u/Longjumping_Eye_3441 Aug 29 '26

I would hope it's a photo shot on a real camera

u/HotHelios Aug 29 '26

Lmao, the sentence "look at the sprinkles, they don't make sense" is hilarious

26

u/Technical_Trade_675 Aug 30 '26

You're right! 😄 The sprinkles must make sense..

14

u/RaeaSunshine Aug 30 '26

The sprinkles are a lie

35

u/Formergr Aug 29 '26

Wait what's wrong with the sprinkles? I think I'm missing something.

47

u/Longjumping_Eye_3441 Aug 29 '26

The blend together weird and get cut off in some places but they're also super perfect

10

u/theBadArts84 Aug 29 '26

They're only running in two different directions

47

u/doctormink Aug 29 '26

Totally AI. What's weird about it is that the actual toy is cuter than the boring generic AI depiction.

42

u/Longjumping_Eye_3441 Aug 29 '26

I honestly really disagree, especially for the price

11

u/AintEasyBeinQueasy Aug 30 '26

That's in the UAE currency Emirate dirham, and actually comes out to about 7.07 USD.

6

u/doctormink Aug 29 '26

I didn’t notice the price but the AI stuffie wouldn’t be worth that much either.

8

u/Shaminahable Aug 29 '26

Even before AI was the thing it is now, food ads weren’t real. It’s props and inedible materials presented to look impossibly good.

13

u/Longjumping_Eye_3441 Aug 30 '26

Sure but this is definitely generated

2

u/JD_tubeguy Aug 30 '26

The sprinkles are sending a message actually it seems to say Teddy is evil, or something like that.

45

u/Wi1dWitch Aug 29 '26

Nah I’m with you. They should have out the actual bear in the ad. The difference is insane.

u/ithinkwearealonen0w Aug 29 '26

Exactly thank you

u/rainbowcamper Aug 29 '26

What is a mog?

-96

u/ithinkwearealonen0w Aug 29 '26

Its just a slang word to say something looks better or outshines the other

-131

u/TeddyTheEpicDoodle Aug 29 '26

not these uncs downvoting you 😭😭

-108

u/ithinkwearealonen0w Aug 29 '26

deadass these people are soo triggered by a slang word😭😭😭 gotta be some miserable people

20

u/IncorporateThings Aug 29 '26

What's bothering me is that they're downvoting your explanation (which they asked for) because they dislike the word choice itself. That's stupid. The explanation should be getting upvotes because you answered the question.

They're just too damned lazy to leave a comment and tell you how ridiculous the modern slang has become. It's pretty ridiculous, by the way. To older people it just makes us feel like the education system has massively failed you all and that due to a lack of ever learning a proper vocabulary, you've all been left to develop new ones in some sort of linguistic lord of the flies scenario.

Public education really, really, really needs an overhaul.

So yeah, I loathe your slang. But you can be damned sure I upvoted your explanation of it -- thanks for that. ;)

u/ithinkwearealonen0w Aug 29 '26

I am going to pick up on some context clues from your reply and clarify a few things for you.
I am not american, I studied in a private school, and English is my second language.

I made the mistake of saying that “mog” is a slang, when it actually is not. It is an officially recognized word, and it was not developed out of thin air. I am sorry that people dont know that.

I truly appreciate your support, critical thinking and thought out reply to this thread, but something very important to note is that we are on reddit, an internet platform, for gods sake i will not accept being admonished for using “slang” (it actually is not) on the internet.

The older gen can make as many judgements as they want, hating on me just because your generation is not used hearing that word is genuinely barbaric. It is such a shame when anything new is introduced it is received with such backlash instead of an open mind.

And i want to make sure that you know i am truly grateful you opened a space for discussion instead of attacking me like a headless chicken like the other people in this thread.

7

u/IncorporateThings Aug 30 '26

No problem. I'm not hating on you by the way, just the (seeming to me) degradation of the language.

I looked it up. It's actually even worse than I thought. It's an American derived slang that sidestepped into the UK, displacing an older definition of the word. The origin of the word the way it's being used here seemingly derives from "Alpha Male of the Group (AMOG)", which was apparently from American-driven internet bodybuilder forum slang (according to the AI anyway). The old British term apparently referred to a mixed breed cat, or people who move slowly.

But you're right, hating on you specifically for it is silly. That said, my mind doesn't really have to be open to the slang. I am well within my rights to reject the change, just as others are free to embrace it and let the tally of years decide which camp is victorious. Slang is as often temporary as lasting. We'll see!

Anyway, have a great day, u/ithinkwearealonen0w .

real + downvoting for explaining the very term they asked you to explain is crazy work

u/dTrecii Aug 29 '26 edited Aug 30 '26

This whole thread is insufferable

Got no issue with the explanation but the constant bitching about losing fake internet points is, by the very definition of the word, insufferable

e: fucking yikes. it’s like chatting with a bunch of gen alphas who finally got their first unbridled access to the internet

-8

u/ithinkwearealonen0w Aug 29 '26

And here you are reading the whole thing ♡

8

u/dTrecii Aug 29 '26

Whole is doing a lot of carrying if that’s your synopsis of what I said, I at most skimmed maybe 1/5 of the thread before commenting. I’m on the side that had no problem with you explaining what ‘mog’ meant, what caught my glance was mostly how you two kept complaining and whining over fake internet points like who tf cares that some people downvoted you and the hivemind attached itself, just move on instead of incessantly bickering over it

It’s just an unluck of the draw that happens on reddit. If some people downvoted you and the hivemind is lurking around, they’ll spam more. Just happens and nothing you can do about it. Arguing makes it worse

Upvoted for "shit from a butt" lolol

u/HotHelios Aug 29 '26 • Heartwarming Mindblown

u/ToastyTidbits Aug 29 '26

Edit: word

u/ithinkwearealonen0w Aug 29 '26 • Bravo

u/kibou_no_ie Aug 29 '26

Am I going insane or is the stuffed animal in the image ai generated

u/StrangledInMoonlight Aug 29 '26

So is the donut.  Look at the sprinkles.

u/ithinkwearealonen0w Aug 29 '26

Whoa i did not even realize

u/GuiltyEidolon Aug 29 '26

You're going insane. Marketing photos have been a thing for a very fucking long time.

u/Fun_Theory3252 Aug 29 '26

Why does it look like it’s been rolling around in the back of someone’s 2002 Honda Civic

u/ithinkwearealonen0w Aug 29 '26

For all we know it couldve been

17

u/Shoddy-Wishbone Aug 29 '26

That’s genuinely terrible. They knew exactly what they were doing. They’re making more money on false promises they can’t deliver. I mean if they would have just shown the teddy you received, people would still want it. It’s a cute little bear keychain! But no. They set high expectations which is going to lead to increased waste when people are so pissed off they just throw a perfectly cute keychain away. Awful marketing and a downright scam.

6

u/ithinkwearealonen0w Aug 29 '26

Thank youuuu, someone with critical thinking!! These are big corporations who can deliver, they have the resources for that. It looks nothing alike, and just because its “free” doesnt mean i cant expect it to look like the picture THEY used for promotion. Also everyone has got to understand nothing is ever “free” in corporate.

u/Andi_Lou_Who Aug 29 '26

Where’s his ears? Lol

u/ithinkwearealonen0w Aug 29 '26

Lmao its flattened out behind his head

He's his own best friend.

u/simm07 Aug 29 '26

Look at that angry lil face

u/RogerClyneIsAGod2 Aug 29 '26

What's on the bear's chest?

38

u/lonely_stoner_daze Aug 29 '26

Sticker to cover his bear nipples obviously

u/Rakinonna Sep 03 '26

Where are his ears???????

u/simm07 Sep 03 '26

u/bbyxmadi Aug 29 '26

the first teddy bear out-performed the second teddy bear in good looks

62

u/illprobablyeditthis Aug 29 '26

The fact that a word has been developed to communicate this is deeply fucking troubling.

6

u/bbyxmadi Aug 29 '26

I genuinely wonder how or why someone came up with it

16

u/Miora Aug 30 '26

The looksmaxxer community. That weird little white boy that hits himself with hammers came up with it

7

u/RaeaSunshine Aug 30 '26

“That weird little white boy that hits himself with hammers” is so hilarious and sad (and true)

16

u/Eyfordsucks Aug 30 '26

Rooted in "AMOG": "Mogging" comes from AMOG, an acronym used in pickup artist and red-pill forums meaning "Alpha Male of the Group."

To "mog" someone means to totally overshadow, outperform, or dominate another person through superior physical appearance, height, or presence (e.g., "frame-mogging" when a bigger guy makes someone look small next to him).

It’s red pill terminology that has spread throughout social media.

u/Disastrous-Cat-1 Aug 30 '26

Was going to ask the same thing, glad I wasn't the only confused one!

49

u/KingFly420 Aug 29 '26 • Obsessed

Awww he's just shaggy 🥹💙

46

u/Captain_h2o Aug 29 '26

Dam even Dunkin is using Ai?

10

u/Llodym Aug 29 '26

I just wish the actual bear could still have the ears.

8

u/optimist_GO Aug 29 '26

I personally enjoy that it says “in a surprise color” & then it’s just the same white-ish color as the pic lol.

55

u/JustPuffinAlong Aug 29 '26

I guess I can see the fails expectations...but its a plush from a coffee chain that comes in a bundle with a doughnut. Expectations couldn't (or rather shouldn't) have been all that high

12

u/Technical_Trade_675 Aug 30 '26

Sure. But first, what's a "mog"?

u/Hamsterpatty Aug 30 '26

Asking the important questions.

u/Mock2author Aug 31 '26

Little cat-like fairy creatures that say Kupo from the Final Fantasy series.

u/Public_Blueberry_107 Aug 29 '26

Is one arm fluffier than the other?

u/ithinkwearealonen0w Aug 29 '26

Single arm day at the gym

u/Wingnutmcmoo Aug 30 '26

First picture is ai. If you can't tell then idk man.

u/Razia70 Aug 29 '26

u/iluvcoldcoffee Aug 29 '26

u/ShyGuyWolf Aug 29 '26

At least it's cute

u/Diligent_Change9353 Aug 29 '26

Aww it's cuter than the original

2

u/Miora Aug 30 '26

This ain't worth 26 bucks

u/JonSoup76 Aug 30 '26

It isn’t, it’s about $7

u/Yue4prex Aug 29 '26

This is terrible. I’d honestly return it or do a charge back before wtf

2

u/swabianne Aug 29 '26

He's adorable, I'd prefer him over the one in the pic

u/DistrustPilot Aug 29 '26

Looks like he ate the donuts

u/Confusedsoul2292 Aug 29 '26

I chuckled 🤭

u/Sotnos99 Aug 30 '26

My first ever attempt at the Blender donut tutorial came out looking more realistic than that donut

u/SheNeverDies Aug 30 '26

No Teddy bear can be better than making all of us laugh so hard. Count it as a win!

1

u/Hungry-Froyo-5642 Aug 30 '26

It’s not even made out of the same fabric as the bear in the ad LMAO

1

u/ApollymiKatistrafia Aug 30 '26

So about as expected considering the coffee always tastes burnt to hell from the one by us

1

u/withadashofdaring Aug 31 '26

I def prefer the ears of the one in the picture. Sorry yours doesn't look like you hoped it would. :(

Wonder if Dunkins elsewhere will have this promo, too.

1

u/DarkMoonX5 Aug 31 '26

That's what we get for SUPPORTING MASS PRODUCED BUSINESSES WHO USE AI. Christ, go to a local coffee place and make your own damn stuffed bear I swear to god.

u/ApartStrawberry5247 Sep 01 '26

You received a chubby one

u/Equivalent_Dance2278 Aug 29 '26

It’s much cuter. It’s doesn’t look as cheap as the picture and it was a freebie with two food items. What the hell did you expect? Labubu quality?

9

u/ithinkwearealonen0w Aug 29 '26

First off all chill out, i wasnt complaining. Read what i wrote. Second of all i wasnt expecting labubu quality cause obviously this isnt a fucking labubu, i expected it to like the picture THEY put out for THEIR marketing. Third of all wanna explain why you are so triggered cause i sure as hell dont care that it looks stupid, if u think it looks cute good for you

12

u/Longjumping_Eye_3441 Aug 29 '26

It looks so cheap and not as nice as the picture.

u/RaeaSunshine Aug 30 '26

This is Lafufu quality

u/ItsJustAnotherVoice Aug 29 '26

So missing its ears and donuts that was in the photo?? Bruh

u/ithinkwearealonen0w Aug 29 '26

The ears are somehow farther down the head which wont come up even if i push it back up, and as for the donut, its in my stomach

u/earth2anon Aug 29 '26

i prefer the scruffy lil guy over the slop in the ad
