Today, the social media manager for Vaseline, either made a career ending blunder or got a promotion for all the new traffic on their Twitter account. Time will only tell as this tweet plays out. Heh.

For those not familiar with these newfangled skin care routines, 'slugging' is rubbing Vaseline all over your face and hands after your normal skin care routine and going to sleep. Apparently, you shine like a goddess the next morning. Understandably, lots of people weren't familiar with 'slugging' because the replies to the tweet were hilarious. Tweeps used the context clues from viewing the picture with the tweet and you can imagine where that went. If you can't imagine, we are here to bring you the best of the replies.
I'm actually going to try and explain this.. 🤣

Slugging is when you apply multiple moisturizers (on top of each other - ie hyaluronic acid, regular moisturizer, etc) to get glass effect/dewy skin
it's suggested your final moisturizer be vaseline to seal everything https://t.co/AXUWBSpFS4
There are a few mature tweeps in the comment section.

Honestly, who could blame him?
We need to stop allowing ads from brands until we can figure out what the hell is going on over there. https://t.co/RTkS2XN6wi

its also a sexual term and using donuts to visualize it was a terrible choice

As we said at the beginning, either an apology and delete or a promotion will be forthcoming.
