Beloved cookie brand Nutter Butter has gone viral for its bizarre promotional posts that have left fans baffled.
Over the past month, users have been concerned about the famous cookie brand that has been posting disturbing TikTok videos on its account.
Many have asked: ‘Are you okay?’ to the 55-year-old company that appeared to adopt a new and unique social media strategy to promote peanut butter treats.
Although the company has been posting strange clips like this since the beginning of the year, people and even other brands have started to question the strange ads.
In a post on Friday, a clip of a giant Nutter Butter cookie filled the center of the screen while a colorful background surrounded it.
However, the cookie was no ordinary nut butter, as it had shrimp for legs, lips on its head, a shrimp mustache, and fragments of a cat and a mask, all while a strange noise repeated.

Caitlin Bolmarcich, brand manager at Nutter Butter, said they track the comments that come in every time they post.
‘It is a very live situation. It’s happening as we speak, so it’s difficult to measure the exact impact right now.
‘We are obviously following it very closely and hope this continues. But what I will say is that all the comments we’re seeing are like, “I bought Nutter Butter today. I haven’t bought one in 30 years,” he said.
Kelly Amatangelo, digital and social leader for Mondelez, which owns the cookie company, said the trend is reaching all generations.
“It’s really spreading to many generations, from Generation Z to Millennials to Generation X, and we love seeing it as an organic social media brand,” Amatangelo revealed.
“I think with this content strategy here, and really using humor to drive engagement, it helps to be top of mind.”
As for what’s to come, Poczekaj told the outlet “we’re always trying to evolve with our audience.”
‘While it seems like a moment right now, we’re going to roll with the punches and see what they (the fans) want, because we want them to be entertained at the end of the day and think about the cookie. Of course.’
