The Snickers staff should have used the excuse they were not themselves due to hunger and they needed to eat of the bars.

One I liked was the cowboy who said he likes to ride into the sunrise, before he cures himself with a Snickers.

It actually does impact the people of Taiwan.

This is a major corporation signaling they recognize China’s
claim on “One China” and Taiwan being subject to it’s vicious
demand to rule over it.

But isn’t this the official policy of the government of the United States?

Please don’t misunderstand. While I understand why Nixon withdrew recognition of the Republic of China in favor of what styles itself The People’s Republic of China, I don’t think it was the right thing to do.

It may be.

What has bothered me over the years is the tendency for
Taiwan’s leaders to talk about unification on normal terms
as if it didn’t matter.

Now it may have been that oddball guy like Schiff here, or
something, but it sure makes me wonder if they deserve my
support or not for their autonomy.

I guess their main leader would be the one to pay
attention to though.

Ever since Kyle Busch started to drive the M&Ms/Mars I topped buying candy. Mars (which includes Ben’s rice - aka Uncle Ben’s) is a woke company.

They should have said it was available in some parts of China while showing the KMT flag. /snicker
