No more Penzey's in this house either.
Burger King also decides that political commentary is a good way to sell product, bashing the FCC's recent net neutrality ruling. Uh, no. I no more need their sandwiches than I do Penzey's spices or Scott's vests.Edit to add: I see @Suppressed has posted a thread on Burger King.
BK has had some of the creepiest ads on TV in the past 20 years. I don't know who does their marketing, but their stupidity has had to cost them countless millions over the years

They never learn, do they. Get woke, go broke.
Anyone heard from the Dixie chicks lately?
A Wisconsin-based spice company that made headlines earlier this month when its CEO sent an email to customers accusing Republicans of racism is now asking people to buy gift cards after hemorrhaging tens of thousands of customers. Earlier this month, Penzeys Spices CEO Bill Penzey renamed the extended Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend to be "Republicans are racist weekend" in a newsletter to customers. In the letter, he said his aim was to anger Republicans in honor of the late civil rights icon. "Remember how Republicans, going against a mountain of evidence to the contrary, once again lied and said BLM wasn’t a peaceful movement but instead terrorists inciting violence throughout the country and then raced out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person? What a bunch of racists," the email said.
The who?
So it appears that our "boycotts" have an impact.... trouble is getting to the point how to keep track of all the companies....
