I had never bought Goya foods previously because of cultural unfamiliarity, and not liking Mexican food (too spicy for me)—so I overgeneralized. But when that brouhaha happened and I heard that stand-up guy defending American opportunity for hard workers to succeed, I started looking carefully at the Goya shelves and have found many products I love—several varieties of canned or dried beans for soups and stews, canned artichoke hearts, Maria cookies, olive and coconut products, and lots of other foods. Now, I make it a point. Go, Goya!
I was similar and wasnt willing to even consider buying any of it that I would have been able to use because I thought it was just more of some contaminated dangerous type crap from Mexico. It really wasnt until this original story told me otherwise that I tried any of it.
