How Skims Responded After Its Advent Calendar Went Viral For How Bad It Is

This past weekend, you may have seen that Kim Kardashian's Skims advent calendar had gone pretty viral… But for all the wrong reasons.

In case you missed it, the incredibly popular clothing brand launched its Holiday Shop on Oct. 29, which included an "Accessories Advent Calendar." But when these calendars started to be delivered toward the end of last week, customers were left pretty disappointed by what the $148 price tag had gotten them.

As seen in various unboxing videos that have gone super viral across social media platforms, the 12-day calendar has the following contents: A teddy bear keychain, three hair ties, three satin scrunchies, three pink bobby pins, a Skims logo stress ball, two brown hair clips, two bra strap headbands (?!), more bobby pins, a brown comb keychain, a red Skims logo keychain, more satin scrunchies, and a fuzzy compact mirror keychain.

To reiterate, this calendar had the retail price of $148, and — perhaps unsurprisingly — people had a lottttt of thoughts on the whole thing. One popular tweet reads: "The SKIMS advent calendar is insane, I can't stop laughing."...
