VFW CALLS FOR BOYCOTT UNTIL MEXICO RELEASES U.S. MARINE

I’ve had coffee from Kauai, but for some reason, Kona is far superior.

Interesting, but some coffee grown in Columbia has exactly the same profile as most Hawaiian. A mellow cup.

Since the price of Hawaiian is generally so high, I occasionally look for that same profile in Columbian coffee. IIRC, the plants first established in Hawaii came from Columbia. (My memory is loose on that....could be they had the same common source...something like that.)

My message to Hershey Inc:
Sirs, It is with regret that I must inform you that, as you have moved your manufacturing operations to Mexico and Mexico continues to hold a United States Marine in prison for inadvertently crossing their border with U.S. legally owned firearms in his truck, I cannot in good conscience continue to buy your products. Regards, “your name here.”

It's not working.....I have been boycotting Mexico and Mexican products for over 20 years and nothing....../s

Need to boycott their tourism industry. People still go by the plane loads. Too many people don't care.

[jazusamo]

Very good.

[Bigg Red]

God bless you father.

Well, I don’t buy anything from Mexico to begin with, especially food. I don’t care if it still is Hershey’s. Who knows what they do to it down there?

[Bigg Red]

I hope that everyone is aware that the companies that produce Thomas’s English muffins — one of my former favorite products— and Entemann’s(sp?) pastries are now owned by a Mexican company, Bimbo Bakery.

I stopped buying those products a few years ago when I learned that.

[jazusamo]

Thanks, the wife gets English muffins from time to time and will tell her.

At the time the market was faintly absent of a lot of people. There were some but not as many as normal.

I need to put a copy of the press release on my VFW Post Bulletin Board. I bet nobody there even knows about this.

Those guys are kinda slow but once they get motivated they get the job done.

[jazusamo]

Thanks, Smooth!

I wondered if you had heard about this.

[primrose]

Yep I thought the same thing.
