Snickers in Spain took down an advertisement and apologized for a "misunderstanding." The film shows Spanish influencer Aless Gibaja ordering "a sexy orange juice" at a beach bar, but instead is offered a Snickers ice-cream bar, and a bite transforms her into a man with a beard and a deep voice. Irene Montero, Spain's minister, tweeted, "I wonder myself how it looked like a decent idea to exploit homophobia as a business strategy."
