10 Genius Ways TV Shows Fixed Their Own Mistakes
3. Netflix Released A Fixed Version Of A Complained-About Scene - Orange Is The New Black
And now for a most minor mistake that picked up an unexpected ton of traction on social media, and consequently received the most peculiarly brilliant response from the show itself.
In a season five episode of Orange is the New Black, Flaca (Marisol Gonzales) and Maritza (Maritza Ramos) are filming a beauty tutorial vlog, where Maritza explains that, in prison, she uses typical household spices to contour her face rather than the usual fancy department store products.
Maritza namedrops three spices, cinnamon, cumin and Sazón Goya, but it's extremely obvious that she's actually pointing at Sazón Adobo, a totally different spice.
Social media was naturally up in arms as ever, and less than two months later, Netflix responded by posting a re-shot version of the scene to Twitter with the correct spice in place - and a not-so-subtle wink at the audience from Flaca and Maritza.
Considering that Netflix absolutely didn't need to do this, this was a pretty neat way to make it up to "enraged" fans while taking smart advantage of social media.
