Recently, some sad news for lovers of the Ricarditosince the multinational Bimbo has announced the closure of the production of this iconic Uruguayan sweetwhich until now was produced by the factory Ricard. This fact has generated a great commotion on social networks, where many users have expressed their regret and disappointment at the news.
But some controversies have also arisen, such as a video published by the senator of the National Party, Jorge Gandini, who took to TikTok to tell, anecdotally, how he visited several towns to find “the last Ricardito”.
«I came to buy the last Ricardito, the last Ricardito of my life, after so many years. We are in Florencio Sánchez, Station on the way to Mercedes, to buy the last Ricardito of my life, “says Gandini in the video that has more than 23,000 views to date.
And he remembered part of his childhood: “I bought this when I left school, and I behaved well, I bought a Ricardito, and now it’s gone, and I bought the last one, here it is,” ends the video of just 29 seconds.
A barrage of criticism of Gandini and his “last Ricardito”
Hundreds of people wrote comments criticizing the attitude of the nationalist senator, who is smiling throughout the video. “The 60 workers are happy with you,” says a comment from the tiktoker @pochit670. “I really don’t understand what celebrate the closing of a factory”, added another user identified as Gustavo.
The video also went viral on Twitter. For a user of this social network, Gandini’s speech is “egocentric and egotistical” and “obvious to refer, from his role as a senator of the Republic, to the 60 families left on the street.”
