After Krit Sripoomset posted a message urging Thais to stop having a stagnant mindset, warning that otherwise the country would be filled with poor-quality products, and anyone trying to create something good would be criticized and lose motivation. In developed countries, society values good products, innovation, uniqueness, and creativity, supporting those who bring change. Otherwise, consumers would keep consuming bad products in isolation, sparking a heated drama recently.
Recently, singer Beer Phasranan Atsadamongkol or Beer The Voice posted a clip reviewing gelato. In the video, Krit Sripoomset brought several gelato flavors to try, writing, “Beer, who really loves ice cream and gelato, has tried everything from Paithong to Häagen-Dazs; each brand has its own unique character.”
“As for Krit’s gelato, it’s truly delicious and creamy, just as people say. It’s enjoyable depending on whether you want to eat to fill your stomach or just as a dessert. For me, the cup size they sell is just right because I’m not someone who eats a lot of sweets.”
“I saw people making a drama out of this. I think Krit was referring to those who look down on the quality of his gelato. I believe he can price it however he wants, whether expensive or cheap. It depends on the customer. If you don’t like it, there are others who do. There’s no need to disrespect him. When he responds, people can’t accept it. If you don’t like it, just don’t eat it—go eat what you like, that’s all.”
She added in comments under the post, “And I’m not getting paid, so don’t accuse me of doing promotional work.” She also said, “If you’re invited and feel you don’t want to go or feel you should be compensated, just tell them straight. Some people willingly go. For me, I don’t want money, I just want to eat ice cream. If it’s inconvenient, just say so. I’ve done both paid and barter jobs—it’s up to us.”
The post drew both support and criticism. Critics commented rapidly, saying things like: "Did you get the cup for free? If someone gives you free food and you film it, who would dare say it’s not good?", "That’s the entertainment industry for you," "Sounds familiar to being lured into content just to eat for free, like what Sai Samut exposed; other pages fell for this too," and so on.
Beer replied, saying, “If it wasn’t tasty, I wouldn’t dare say so. Don’t disrespect me—I’m sincere enough.” “You all make yourselves look really disrespectful, truly stuck in that shell they talk about. Even when I speak honestly, some still accuse me of eating for free and being afraid to speak out. Me? Afraid? Haha.” “Just 500-something baht, I’ve been able to afford that for ages, haha.” “Before accepting jobs, I ask to try the product first. But this wasn’t paid. They invited me to eat, and I had no problem since I already like it. I even told my friends if it wasn’t good, I’d criticize it, haha.”
Supporters encouraged her, commenting things like: “I’m not a big fan of Beer, but this topic is correct. I run a food business—ingredients and costs—I totally understand. Taste is subjective, like wine ranging from 300 to 100,000 baht, same grapes but different.” “Both Beer and Krit are lovely. When he described the ice cream, you could tell he truly loves what he does.” “Honestly, most who criticize haven’t really eaten or cared about food much. The latest Geisha at 500+ baht is very cheap considering the ingredients, etc.”
When a netizen commented, “Wearing a mic and intentionally filming = not a promo,” Beer sharply replied, “Previously, I filmed other content, but this one was just joking around. If you’re stupid, just stay quiet.”
