The Spice Company Who Called Republicans Racist Loses Massive Number of Customers
Citizen For Ethics ^ | 01/29/2022

Penzey’s Spices, the Milwaukee company that held “Republicans are Racist” sale on Martin Luther King Weekend, is now dealing with a massive loss of customers and is begging for new business.

“After starting the year with Republicans are Racists we’ve set a nice little Boycott Penzeys! surge in motion,” Penzey’s CEO Bill Penzey said in an email to customers Friday. “It certainly wasn’t unexpected, but if it’s within your means, you picking up a small stack of Gift Cards would help.”

Penzey admitted that the “Republicans are Racists” email cost his business 40,000 subscribers, roughly three percent of the total. As a result, Penzey’s is offering a gift card sale “with the hope this might make it a bit easier for you to share some and possibly get a few good new customers to replace the ones we’ve lost.”

While Penzey claims that news coverage of his anti-Republican rant brought in 30,000 new email subscribers, he adds that “we are still down about 10,000. Please help.” His email then takes on a desperate tone, all but begging liberals to sign up for his email list as a way of virtue-signaling.

“If you can’t even begin to fathom how to ‘compromise’ with January 6th, or the Republican vaccine lies needlessly killing 10,000 Americans every week, if you have no desire to become half-way racist, and if their intent to destroy our climate for one thousand years to come doesn’t have you asking: ‘What if we just destroyed it for five-hundred years instead?’ we would be better off with you on this Voice Of Cooking email list,” he wrote.

Two weeks ago, Penzey wrote in a shocking email that Republicans are so racist that they fantasize about killing African Americans. “Remember how Republicans, going against a mountain of evidence to the contrary, once again lied and said BLM wasn’t a peaceful movement but instead terrorists inciting violence throughout the country and then raced out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person?” he said in his email to customers. “What a bunch of racists.”

Amid the firestorm over his that screed, Penzey bragged to the Daily Mail that we has not worried about a potential loss of customers because so many new ones would start buying his spices.

Taking his pleas for help with a grain of salt.

"Well, ... he’s a moron.

I beg to differ, he is a virtue-signaling, obnoxious moron.

Been boycotting Penzey’s for more than 5 years.

This isn’t the first time Bill Penzey has shot his mouth off.

He should have taken a peek at Xuden’s record before going with that ad.

LOL

True. And with 10k fewer customers and at least one who never was and never will be.

He’ll be lucky if even a third of the libs who virtue-signal signed up for his newsletter become long term customers either.

You know how it is with spices if you like to cook. You have a few. I came down to the kitchen this past week and my wife had pulled all of the spices out onto the kitchen counter. We haven’t shopped Penzeys in years since discovering their crappy politics.

Well, we’ve got a lot of holes in the spice racks— pitched whatever remained and bottles were soaking in the water so the labels could be removed.
