Michelle Obama Is Now Selling “Healthy Sodas” At Costco

Residents of Livermore, California, a town of less than 100,000 people in the East Bay region, were surprised to see none other than Michelle Obama at their local Costco on Tuesday.

The former first lady(?) was there to promote her new line of healthy sodas, called PLEZi.

Here are some photos and videos:

Notice how Secret Service is there, surrounding Michelle and not letting anyone get too close.

Damn, if only President Trump got that kind of security!

Local news outlet KSBW Monterey-Salinas reported:

It’s not every day that you see a former first lady of the United States out in the wild. But that’s exactly what happened Tuesday when the one and only Michelle Obama surprised a handful of shoppers at a Bay Area Costco.

It wasn’t a warehouse in a big city like San Francisco, either. No. Obama showed up at the Costco in Livermore, the East Bay town of less than 100,000 people.

Obama, who was a champion of nutrition during her time in the White House, was there promoting Plezi Nutrition, a new brand making “healthier and delicious” snacks and drinks. Obama is a co-founder and strategic partner of the brand, which is geared toward kids ages 6 and up. Plezi also recently partnered with Stephen and Ayesha Curry, who are now investors and brand partners of Plezi Nutrition.

The surprise visit was shared on TikTok and confirmed by Abby Hagstrom, a public relations account director at Havas Formula.

In the video, about 20 people have gathered around Obama. They made a semicircle but couldn’t get too close, as Secret Service agents protected her from the crowd. You can hear the former first lady saying, “This is healthy. This is a healthy drink,” as she holds up an orange box of Plezi Fizz sodas. “Low calories,” she says. For what it’s worth, the Fizz soda contains 45 calories per serving.

Michelle Obama apparently wants your kids to drink these PLEZi drinks, which is why she’s taken it upon herself to visit Costcos to shill them herself.

From ABC 7:

Some Costco shoppers in the East Bay got a big surprise earlier this week — former First Lady Michelle Obama!

She was there promoting her new brand of drink called PLEZi at the Costco in Livermore.

The brand is touted as a healthier option to normal drinks and snacks, with less sugar than regular carbonated drinks.

It’s geared toward younger kids.

Secret Service agents surrounded Mrs. Obama as she said, “It’s healthy and has less calories.”

As if 8 years of Obama “healthy school lunches” wasn’t enough?

Remember these?

I have to wonder: are the Obamas suffering from Bidenomics just as bad as the rest of us?

Mortgage payment at Martha’s Vineyard went up?

 

Colin Rugg pointed out:

 

I also have to wonder: are these drinks really healthy?

Should you really feed them to your kids?

Well, X has you covered for the ingredients list in these things…

 

So, not as healthy as feeding your kids something actually natural…

And I have to wonder about the taste.
