I've noticed something twice now that may indicate a trend. The first time was with General Mills, and now with Nabisco. In both cases, the parent company made a very public affirmation of homosexuality, and in both cases I noticed the exact same thing within 1-2 weeks of the story getting a lot of exposure in the media and/or here on FreeRepublic: Products of both companies were stacked in prominent places at the ends of aisles in my local grocery store ... with steep discounts posted on them.
It makes me wonder if companies like General Mills and Nabisco are facing financial troubles, and see a homosexual sell-out as a last-ditch attempt to prop up sales and get some free publicity.
