Over the years, I've purchased a fair amount of spices from Penzys. No more. I stopped buying coffee from Starbucks six years ago, and went to roasting my own beans. The money saved more than paid for a Nezpresso machine.

I'll go back to buying from other suppliers before I waist another dime at Penzys. I fully expect to receive their Xmas catalog which will be returned to sender.

I have never liked Penzy’s. I buy from a small, family owned store that has good prices, good quality and is smart enough to avoid stupidity like this.

Have they found the magic to left-wing political product marketing?

Time will tell.

We are special and all you Trump voters are racist.

That’s about the gist of it.

This reminds me so much of what one of my grade school teachers, Mr. C, used to say all the time.

“Why does this room always smell like a grilled cheese sandwich?”

You just can’t get that kind of wisdom in a classroom these days.

“Why does this room always smell like a grilled cheese sandwich?”

I’m going to have that put on my tombstone.

The question raised by these left wing corporations being the complete identity of the person having actual control. Then compare the controlling person with those having controlling interest in other leftist corporation. Interesting patterns arise.

They should talk about “no real support” after issuing this bag of gas!

I just looked through the comments on their Facebook page- didn’t see a single negative one, all were praising the company’s “heroic” stand- what?!?! They must be working overtime scrubbing the truth telling comments.

When you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

America: this arrogant puke just told you that he doesn’t need you, doesn’t want your business, and thinks he speaks for the heart of this nation.

I would recommend we show him how wrong he is on all those counts.

"For the sake of our customers, and for the sake of future generations, we felt the time had come to stand on the right side of history."

Whenever you see some fool claiming they want to "stand on the right side of history" it is important to look around them carefully. Usually you can find that flag with the hammer and sickle hanging on a wall in their office or home.

Good luck to Penzys, they seem like a bunch of leftist propagandists running a company. The are probably more interested in their politics than the quality of their product.

I know a FReeper who sells spices (or at least used to). He’s one of the good guys, if you’re looking for another source of spices.

We stopped buying from Penzeys as soon as this story broke and my husband wrote a letter to their CEO advising him of the reason. We now buy from another company:

They doubled down on it.

They will virtue signal themselves right out of business.
