As Hemp wrote in her caption, her mom believed she’d found an Xbox Series X. The gaming console is in such high demand that websites and social media pages are fully dedicated to sharing updates on where — and when — it will be in stock.

Unfortunately, Hemp’s mom didn’t find one. Instead, she found a refrigerator that looked strangely like a gaming console.

“My mom thought she snagged an Xbox X on Black Friday,” Hemp wrote. “Turns out it was just a mini fridge.”

Woman shares TikTok of her mom’s ‘embarrassing’ holiday shopping mishap: ‘Isn’t that kind of false advertising?'

A mom is going viral after mistaking an Xbox Series X fridge for the hard-to-find gaming console she thought she was buying.

Ban this loser for posting some staged tiktok crap.

That's not "cool"!

“Isn’t that kind of false advertising?” one user asked."

Writing "Mini Fridge" on the packaging of a mini fridge is false advertising?

 

[Sybrix]

What the fuck was that?

Shit 10 sec vid, awful music, cringe voice over.

Are we supposed to ROFL?

This is the best use of social media. This Tik Tok video is great advertising for MS.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Go post this on Reddit or something. Obviously fake, not funny, low effort, and has probably been posted hundreds of times already. Which means you’ll get tons of karma for posting it.

 

[remember_spinal]

Doesn’t seem likely

Fake. Trying to make the brand look cool "All the kids want it"

[Krappadizzle]

That's sweet. A+ for effort. My parents would have easily made the same mistake if that thing was around when I was a kid.

The tiktok auto voice over voice will forever be the most cringeworthy voice.

This really makes no sense.

1. It clearly says mini fridge on the box.

2. I highly doubt they would keep both products in the same location at Target(I could be wrong I guess) and the series X would always be behind a locked cabinet if in stock. I know when first released, retailers were doing the series X/PS5 online only, I’m not sure if that’s changed

3. The price, obviously. Like cmon man.

It’s gotta be staged.

Its a TickTock, everything is staged for farming popularity in hopes of becoming an influencer.

"Xbox X"

uh huh ... totally real and not staged in any way.

MS continues to impress at making things confusing for parents. GameStop conversations must be painful these days.

 

[dorkimoe]

I was talking to my electrician the other day when he was doing work and he said he was able to find the "white xbox" in stores (the series s). I have a feeling he doesnt know its all digital.

 

[Portugeezer]

Use it as PS5 external cooling.

 

[Captain Toad]

They sell the Xbox fridge at Target?

Being an Influencer is a job now. It's another arm of the Marketing department for many companies.

I would destroy my kids phone if they tried that to me.

Pretty low effort video.

Hope you punched em in the throat and smashed their phone.

ok.. but

 

[fart town usa]

Off topic but I wonder if parents still rip things from people's hands during hectic Christmas shopping?

I have a vague memory of being at Toys-R-Us during Christmas season when I was probably 5. I had a crash test dummy car in my hands, last one of the shelf. My mom was at the other end of the aisle. A woman approached me and was trying to get me to give it to her, lol. I remember her trying to be real sweet about it but it was terrifying. I just immediately ran to my mom.

And yes, those crash test dummy toys were FUCKING AWESOME.

 

[UnNamed]

Are these mini fridge counted as consoles sold this holidays?

 

[Pallas]

They sell the Xbox fridge at Target?

It’s exclusive to Target.

 

[JimboJones]

I can't wait for the follow up video where they get a console then proceed to dab and dance in Fortnite at 120fps then play a Roblox game.

Funny thing is his mom must be on the syringe. No drug free person would think a $99 xbox series x is real. Even on black friday.

Sony needs to step up and release a PS5 wifi router to compete in this arena.
