The most recent shilling sister is Kim, who posted several slides and videos to her Instagram stories showing off a liquid IV powder that promises to prevent hangovers – just in time for New Year’s Eve revelry.
In one video, the 43-year-old poured some of the powder into a glass of water, stirring it up.
The following photo unveiled the cloudy concoction made by the mixture.
Both the video and photo were tagged with links to learn more, along with the disclosure that they were indeed paid ads.
Kim’s sales pitch comes on the heels of sister Kylie Jenner promoting a mobile game.
In an online chat room, fans wondered why the supposedly wealthy reality stars would decided to turn into saleswomen.
“They must be more cash poor than we realize,” one person speculated.
Another echoed: “They may be well off but I’m convinced they don’t have the cash in the bank. Everything is either bought with a card or given to them. That’s why they do s**t like this. To get instant cash.”
As a third snarked: “So one is selling games for phones & the other is selling liquid IV … These are the lives of the Rich & Famous (cough smoke and mirrors).”
KYLIE’S NEW CAUSE
Kylie caused her own concerns earlier when she partnered with an unlikely sponsor.
On her Instagram Story recently, Kylie, 26, took time to speak highly of an app she recently downloaded called Travel Town.
“I keep getting all of these game ads and I’m not really a gamer but remember this name Travel Town. When they asked me to partner with them I had my doubts but now I’m hooked,” the fashion mogul in the short clip.
Kylie stood in a brightly lit room while wearing a leather jacket and a white T-shirt underneath.
She also had her luscious black hair down and behind her shoulders while her make-up was touched to perfection.
One fan was quick to share the promoted video on a Kardashian-based Reddit forum and wrote: “Billionaire businesswoman promoting mobile games.”
Other critics were quick to comment their thoughts.
One wrote: “It’s crazy how much media training/practice they have and this ad is still SO bad!!”
“The cash flow must be slowing down,” claimed a second.
Another commented: “There’s no way Kylie has as much money as she says if she’s doing povo s**t like this.”
LACK OF ENERGY
Not every Kardashian cash grab is a success.
In August, fans mocked Kim’s “failed” business venture, with many saying she had “overestimated” her success after low sales.
The Hulu star earlier became the newest spokesperson for Alani energy drinks and released the flavor collab, Kimade by Kim.
A grocery store snapshot of The Kardashians star’s Alani display, fully stocked with cases of energy drinks, and complete with a cardboard cutout of Kim, 42, was posted on a Kardashians-dedicated Reddit board.
The post was sarcastically titled: “It’s flying off the shelves.”
The cutout featured a photo of a one-piece wearing Kim holding a pair of dumbbells next to an enlarged, nearly human-sized can of her Kimade beverage.
In the comment thread, one person wrote: “I think she overestimated her ability to sell this s**t.”
“How embarrassing,” added another.
As A fourth person speculated: “This stuff will most definitely, without a doubt, end up at Big Lots, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, and all the other places that get leftover crap nobody wants.”
