Oatly Reviews 117

WARNING massive sugar drink!

I found out that Oatly has more than double the amount of sugar than normal milk... the same level of sugars you would find in a COKE. No joke. They have Maltose in there which has a 105 glycemic index so your going to get very fat and is dangerous for people with Diabetes, so take care. Other chemicals are added to make it taste nice. So not quite the friendly good for the enviroment product they are marketing it as. Also it costs pennies to produce and ends up on the shelves for pounds. This is a marketing scam.

Bought their Oatly skinny milk (light) because shop was out of what I usually get (Plenish, which isn’t delicious but okay in small quantities). The ingredients are nearly the same, so how do they make this taste so bad?! Vile! Tastes like Calpol or something. Definitely not drinkable and will be tipping it down the sink.

Horrible company. Harvest your information to enter a free offer and then decide they have run out even after they sent acknowledgement that you will get it.
Did try this item once and it gave me the runs and stomachache.
Taste bland. Other better products out there and much cheaper. Avoid.

Spent a few hours trying to get their freebie promotion AI chat bot to work on WhatsApp. Finally applied by eventually getting to the end of the buggy, wretched process. Then to only to get a message a few days later saying that it won't be honoured. Surely the wretched AI chat bot would stop accepting freebie applications once the 10k quota had been filled? Of course not, Oatly had to continue the data grab. Now I have to go to the trouble of emailing to stop them using or sharing my data. The whole exercise was a waste of my time.

Saw the Oatly ad for free tea, mug + carton, went through the entire process with confirmation it was accepted to then get a rejection. Farming data when surely it should have been an easy switch off? Will avoid Oatly where possible!

Embarrassing company, they put you through hell with their chatbot for the promise of a freebie, only to message you later to say they won't honour it. I will never ever buy their product! Data harvester, avoid.

Terrible marketing, was keen to try the free sample offer, turns out were collecting peoples data after the allocated amount had run out. Disgraceful from Oatly, avoid them like the plague, lots of other oat milk brands out there. Poor experience will never drink or try after this.

I took part in a marketing campaign that Oatly drew up which offered participants some promotional goods. The system they used to run this promotion continued to allow people to take part even while the number of redeemable promotional goods had been exceeded, or so they say...

It most definitely feels like a scam operation whereby Oatly misleadingly harvested a lot of people's private data - which no doubt they'll be selling on without our consent - without fulfilling or delivering on the promise of what participants were lead to believe.

Oatly have withdrawn from sending out the promotional items to many, many people whose data Oatly will still lucratively benefit from.

If this is how Oatly operates, I would question the quality control and substance of their products, quite frankly.

Collected a large amount of data with misleading marketing campaign. Wasted many people's time with frustrating "Super AI", AKA a WhatsApp script....

Yes, I too fell for their horrible "marketing campaign" (data harvesting) exercise on WhatsApp. It was so poorly thought out and difficult to to use (what was wrong with a form?!), and the only reason I can think of that they let it run after all packs had been (allegedly) claimed was to harvest data. If you were a victim of this too, make sure to email to get your data removed so they can't sell it. Never going to buy their drinks again.

Scam. Avoid.
Phishing for personal data via a WhatsApp scam. Don’t go near them or buy their products.

Their marketing team needs replacing.

Said sign up for free oatly and a mug.

Did so, for ages through WhatsApp, said stuff is on the way.

Few days later, sorry, you're not getting it.

So why let me give you ALL my personal info for nothing. Data harvesting with no reward. Scam.

This company ran a campaign around their product recently that had a terrible WhatsApp chat bot and seems to have been an information harvest of people's details as a lot of people have not made 'the cut' for getting any of their freebies.

If I was on the fence about buying their stuff before this then it's a definite no from me from now.

They harvested data promising free stuff, confirmed the free sample in writing then reneged on the contract. Way to go Oatly.

Deceitful company harvesting data using false promotions. Very sneaky. Avoid

I also took part in their What's App promotion. A protracted text exchange with a stupid Chat Bot. Six days later, a message informed me that I've missed out this time around. Well, there won't be another time around. This was just a headline grabbing data harvesting exercise. Don't buy Oatley.

Horrendous marketing campaign that took an age to complete and was really tedious.

To make matters worse, now they now state too many people signed up.

If it would of been a simple Web form, fair enough, but the ridiculous way they did this campaign 😡

Company harvested data through a recent campaign promising free gifts that had already been posted, only to backtrack on this. But it's all okay, they have a tonne of consumer data they can sell on!

Can you give 0 stars? If I could, I would.

They did a promotion through what’s app where you have to reply to one of the dumbest ai bots I’ve ever encountered, it took ages to finally fill it out.

Then 6 days later getting a message saying - sorry you don’t get anything… avoid this company! Scammers

Took all my data for marketing promotion giving away free mugs, tea etc. only to the first 10000 customers. Only to be told few days later that I did not make the 10000. Not that they could not stop the AI bot after reaching 10000 people...
