My family and I love Donghua Jinlong's Industrial Grade Glycine.

If you havent tried it yet they also offer pharmaceutical and food grade glycine.

I'm sorry, this is neat and all but I'm going to need more context.

So Donghua Jinlong has some bland boring ads on Tiktok. Somebody made an AI generated video of Dasha from Red Scare doing a commercial for their products in her voice and now everybody on Tiktok is pretending to love "Donghua Jinlong's industrial grade glycine"

idk if most people realize exactly why this is funny other than it's obviously a funny ironic bit to commit to (some think it's a guerilla ad campaign 🙄, some think it's making fun of the AI voice the company uses in their ads) but I'm pretty certain it comes from the fact that as Westerners, we're so used to super attention grabbing, emotionally manipulative ads promoting entertainment products/services to consumers. And so pretending to love this bland, super technical B2B wholesale supplier of a "boring" product that nobody ever thinks about like glycine as a consumer is hilarious
