WTF does yassified CPG even mean?

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/yassify

> 1. (transitive, Internet slang) To apply several beauty filters to (a picture or video of someone), typically making the subject look more made-up, potentially more feminine, and often unrecognizable.

> 2. (figuratively, sometimes derogatory) To present (something) as fashionable and glamorous, often by removing or disguising aspects which are considered unappealing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast-moving_consumer_goods

> Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), also known as consumer packaged goods (CPG)[1] or convenience goods, are products that are sold quickly and at a relatively low cost.

So I read it as consumer packaged goods which are presented as fashionable and glamorous using Internet marketing and real-world branding, for what is likely generic brand quality.
