Despite the fact that Peloton understood its bicycle would be highlighted in the episode, the organization said it had no notion Mr. Huge would chunk the dust right after employing one particular of its goods, BuzzFeed noted. Having said that, theories are traveling close to social media that the whole ordeal, which include the reaction with Reynolds, was a single huge Peloton promoting stunt.
So the SATC reboot is sponsored by peloton and this complete detail was an elaborate internet marketing stunt.

There is no way @onepeloton was shocked by that previous scene of #AndJustLikeThat + turned that “response” industrial THAT immediately. This is all marketing and advertising, and it’s working. And Just Like (IN ON) THAT.
