‘Bigger breasts’: Chinese drink maker at it again, suggesting coconut milk makes women busty, despite earlier fines for same claims

Coconut Palm, China’s best-known coconut milk brand from the southern island province of Hainan, is under fire after inviting several women to promote its products in a series of live streams on video platform Douyin last week.

Wearing tight tops and shorts, the women danced in front of the camera with a can of coconut milk in their hands, triggering criticism that the company was again using claims of breast enhancement to boost sales after it had previously admitted they were groundless.

The company has been fined twice by local authorities in recent years for advertisements and packaging suggesting its product could promote breast enlargement.

The fines were imposed because the company had gone against “social graces” and “interfered with public order”, according to public administrative records.
