Despite the controversial guerrilla marketing campaign that has persisted for over four and a half years, we know surprisingly little about the fleshnuts as can be summed up by the early ad campaign itself “I literally have no idea what these are” . This campaign, marked by its decentralized and covert nature, has yet to deliver a single product. Nevertheless, it caught international attention in the spring of 2021 and has since become a phenomenon in certain circles.
Remarkably, the first two years of this belligerent campaign went largely unnoticed, reaching an estimated three to seven individuals across five confirmed ads. These ads, eliciting disgust from some and confusion from all. The campaign managed to fly under the radar until a copy of advert #5 was posted to Reddit. It went viral due to its frankly ridiculous font choice, prompting internet sleuths to uncover all publicly available details of the campaign in granular detail.
At the heart of this bizarre marketing strategy is the company's intern, Lemy, who remains elusive and has never officially commented. However, when approached by fans, witnesses report hearing Lemy exclaim a range of emotional outbursts while running in the opposite direction:
- “I never meant for any of this to happen.”
- “Forgive me, what have I done?”
- “All your fault. Yoooooour fault.”
- “What is wrong with you?”
- “All my work, half a decade of being a ding dang intern... Ruined! Thanks to you!”
- “You have to stop coming around like this. Please. We can’t keep doing this… Don’t cry, of course I still have feelings for you, but we always knew this was goin… wait, is that a camera?”
Thanks to a mix of calculated guesses and peculiar tea leaf readings , Public interest has zeroed in on underground duvet magazines and after market tricycle part coupon books. These obscure publications have been identified as the most likely next locations for these coveted adverts.
Unfortunately, where this much intrigue persists misfortune is sure to follow as three 'nut heads' terminally found out while in search of rumored overprints of “Mice and Me issue #25", where experts discuss the moon's cheese composition as well as the working man's plight. Followers of Lemy's words believed the Fleshnut advert #7 could be found on the last page. However, their quest led them to an illegal thread shop behind a button store, resulting in a tragic encounter with the quilting syndicate, no survivors were left to tell the tale of what came next...
In celebration of the confirmed to be rumored first limited Fleshnut release, I will be dedicating the next several posts to tracking down and posting all 12 known Fleshnut adverts, affectionately known as the Gospel of Lemy. So stay tuned and I’ll catch you next time Lemy<3
