We are three days into the Bendgate controversy, and while Apple says they’re seriously investigating why iPhone 6 Pluses are bending in users’ pockets, the company’s competitors and other brands are piling onto the controversy with a steady stream of bending jokes for the social media masses.
Everyone from Coca-Cola to Whattaburger are joining Samsung, LG, and Nokia in making fun of Apple’s flexible iPhone problem, and the results are absolutely hilarious.
Check out today’s funniest Bendgate brand jokes:
Chex Mix
Coca-Cola
Coke bottles have been curvy in all the right places for over 100 years.
Heineken
KitKat
Kit Kat’s social media peeps had a field day with Bendgate, releasing multiple teasers about how non-bendy its offerings are.
Lenovo
Apple’s biggest competitor in the desktop PC business wanted to make sure Tweeps know its laptops are designed to bend, although I’m sure I could smash it with my hands too.
LG 
LG’s just happy to finally get to join the smartphone conversation after five years of spitting out mediocre Android handsets.
Nokia
Nokia’s 3000 series handsets were the most durable phones in the world. Too bad they couldn’t adapt those skills to the smartphone market too.
Pringles
Once you bend, you just can’t stop.
Samsung
It took Samsung just a few hours to make fun of Apple’s bending problems on social media, but we’ll be disappointed if Samsung Bendgate ad isn’t released within the next two weeks.
Slim Jim
Even the world’s most disgusting meat brand in the world is making fun of the inferior quality of the iPhone 6 Plus.
Flat Tire
Don’t try putting an aluminum beer can in your pocket either.

lol at the Wattaburger one <3 Apple btw
It’s incredible to see how such a small problem is blown up this much when it comes to Apple specifically. Any other product that may bend in the front pocket wouldn’t get this much attention.
It’s the ol’ Apple double standard. Any trivial thing wrong with Apple is the worst thing to happen in the history of the world. You should know that by now.
That would be fine if they did not want to charge so much more that everyone else for a phone
It’s justified. People are having fun at apples expense right now and that’s fine. But what no seems to mention is that Apple is on top of any issues and will make sure customers are happy with their products in the end. If this were any other company they (any android oem or MS) would bury their heads in the sand wait for it to blow over and fix any issues with the next phone release letting their customers find work arounds for the pos they just sold you. So maybe Apple didn’t get it right out the gate… You can bet your $800 iphone that they will.
it’s amazing how a small issue can be used when it’s about a very famous product. Everyone rides on it right away.
This is not a ‘small’ problem: this is major. This ‘minor’ issue has the possibility to run your phone useless.
9 out of 10 million!!! It’s a non-issue. And if it bends under normal use, it’s replaceable by warranty.
9 complaints out of millions sold. The market leader is always been challenged. Somethings never change ZZzzzz
Im sure the next scandal is going to be that the iphone 6 hurts your teeth when you try to eat it, or it dents when you try to use it as a hammer. Seriously, all this noise over 9 complaints out of 10 million users?
We have to agree it has been a comedy of errors from Apple …
Firstly there was the security issue with Icloud
Secondly the cockup with the IOS v8.
Now the bending Iphone 6s.
Its blind faith to say this is not a big issue … Apple fan boys will buy Tim Cooks poop and say it tastes nice …
They will now have to be more flexible with the prices. Incidentally, Blackberry are suing them for copyright infringement with their Blackberry Curve. At least Apple are now being straight with their customers about this issue.
