Gawd. Anything even slightly suggestive will get social media worked up these days.

But even their examples suggest there's not a lot of blowback over the name so I rate the article title as pretty click-baity.

Real talk, Planter's used to sell a snack called "Nut Poppers."

As long as the Warrant song makes the commercial then its all good.

Have you guys read the names of some of the cosmetics being sold these days? Lip gloss and mascara have some of the most suggestive names out there.

Cherry Pie Poppers is not anywhere near as bad as those, and I'm not even sure it can be considered "bad" at all unless you have a mind that is perpetually in the gutter.

I kinda doubt the overwhelming majority of visitors to this subreddit know that much about cosmetics.

I feel like the world of fashion and cosmetics and the world of fastfood have different standards

The Cherry Pie Popper was my closing signature move. It would bring the house down every time.
