Another once great company goes woke - Hersheys

Hershey's faces backlash over putting trans woman on candy bar wrapper for International Women’s Day

"The chololate's out of the wrapper!" --Fae Johnstone

I've never been a big fan of hersheys chocolate, but now I'll have the above quote in my head every time I see their product. Thanks Canada.

 

This alphabet (LBQZ++ Whatever) people thing is becoming an obsession in this country.
Less than 3% of the population is alphabet, but you'd think it was 90% from the way it's being pushed.

 

Allowing a tiny but rabidly vocal minority to run roughshod over the majority is utterly criminal.

 

The list of businesses and products that I have no use for isn't that long, so it's easy to remember. I hope those that walk away are consistent enough to make it hurt.

I have a sip of my Pepsi product and smile every time I drive past Dick's Sporting Goods empty parking lot and have to jockey for an available space within 70 yards of the door at Academy Sports a mile down the road.

 

That ain't no woman. If it has/had a kickstand IT AIN'T NO WOMAN! Of course being a fudge company maybe they just want to increase market share among a certain group known for packing...........well you know, then that's just capitalism.

 

Well, if it outrages us, the media will cover it and sensationalize it.
I say meh. and will keep my thoughts in my head until they can read them via some cranial scan that some scientists is going to create in the future.

Until then, i give zero shits about this whole pronoun thing and will ask the person their name and address them using that. Plain and simple.

 

Only in the new leftist America does the minority rule over the majority. These companies pander to 4% of the population -what the hell are they thinking I can't believe the other 96% of the population has been brainwashed to accept his crap. Add one more company to my list I won't support or buy from,

 

Or "Hershey's Fudge Packers"

 

Hershey's ? never head of her
Reese's cups I've heard of

 

This kind of aggressive marketing leaves a bad taste and smells a bit like desperation . I'd rather have coffee

 

I gave up then they stripped 2/3 of their plant and shipped it to Mexico.

OTOH, the US "Sugar cartel" made it impossible to do anything else. Gotta love the leftovers of the New Deal.

 

Man...one would think that it is 99.99%, judging by the way the Right wing Republicans are hitting the LGBTQI+ 'great replacement' moral panic button.

It's a wonderful distraction by right wingers to focus anxious voters upon, who feel that their intolerant anti-LGBTQI+ religious beliefs are under existential threat.

 

I just love it...all those free-market, pro-capitalism pundits with their panties in a wad, because a confectionary company makes a commercial decision to promote an event on it's chocolate wrappers...to misquote Rupert Murdoch...Hershey's are neither red, nor blue, but....*gasp*, RAINBOW!

 

Dude is still a dude no matter what he does to himself or says. It's unfortunate that he has that nut allergy. Maybe an epi-pen would have been a better solution than cutting them off?

Snickers for me thank you very much.

Godspeed
