The internet couldn't help but notice the brand's new 'slugging' ad looks a lot like, well, buttholes.

The brand Vaseline recently started promoting their Healing Jelly with an ad on Twitter that featured donuts.

And whether or not their social media and brand strategy teams thought about it or not, the donuts look like, well, butt holes. Specifically a "dry" butthole and one covered in a pearly white, viscous substance.


It's supposed to be advertising how to use Vaseline's products for the skincare practice known as "slugging," a perfectly innocuous method where you trap in moisture on the skin by use of a lotion or gel that blocks the exchange of water and air.

It looks like...not that.

An odd choice for a brand that's a century and a half old, but not unprecedented.

See also Burger King and Nutter Butter. The tweet is still up, but the brand turned off replies. That didn't stop people from reacting to the hilarious image, however.

Folks were attempting to infer what 'slugging' meant, based on the ad.




Others skipped right to the jokes.


Mostly, however, people talked about the marketing decisions that did or did not go into this ad.





Someone said Vaseline should stay in their lane.

Finally, Vaseline itself replied to the initial tweet, reacting to the entire brouhaha.

Vaseline is available in drug stores and slugging is a skincare trend, to be clear.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
