A man created a Doritos troll account in order to help tackle all of the negative comments from the anti-gay consumers outraged by Doritos Rainbows.<\/p>\n
Recently, Doritos started a campaign<\/a> to help raise funds for the \u2018It Gets Better Project<\/a>\u2019\u2013 a charity that was created in response to LGBT youth taking their own lives as a result of being bullied. \u2018It Gets Better\u2019 supports these young people in effort to show that it does get better.<\/p>\n In order to raise funds, Doritos created a brand of chips called \u2018Rainbows\u2019 containing multicoloured Doritos. Whilst Doritos saw a lot of positive support (and even sold out all of their limited-edition Rainbow chips), there were quite a few anti-gay consumers who were outraged and went to Facebook to make their complaints.<\/p>\n That\u2019s where Mike Melgaard, the man behind the unofficial Facebook account \u2018Doritos ForHelp<\/a>\u2019 came\u00a0into play. He also did a similar thing last month in response to Target\u2019s gender neutral labeling, but found the anti-Doritos comments to much more hateful.<\/p>\n Melgaard, posing as Doritos customer service, flawlessly replied to anti-gay comments left on the Doritos Facebook page.\u00a0Here are some of our favourites:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
