LOL !
I love Dove soap.
I love Knorr Hollandaise Sauce.
I love Hellman's on BLTs
I even like Bertolla olive oil.
SIGH! Excuse me while I find a ledge to jump from.....
I LOVE that picture!
There's something funny about a diet website that won't work if you don't set your computer to accept cookies...
I won't complain. The stuff makes my face itch. And, I've learned to love real butter!
I love Bertolli's EVOO too, but I am willing to make a change for the greater good. (But I also have to buy some in the next month.)
You know, our family stopped buying Unilever products over a year ago when Natalie Maines dissed the POTUS in England and Lipton continued to use her fat mouth to promote their products. Until a few weeks ago. We were at Sams Club, and we were out of tea. We had a choice of Luzianne DeCaf or Lipton caffeinated tea. I bought the caffeinated stuff. Well, it won't happen again. I believe the boycott of Unilever that began over a year ago is what has made a difference in sales of that product. And I believe someone might want to investigate their number inflation.
I find it hilarious personally that the same company that sells SlimFast also sells butter, mayo and hollandaise sauce.
Does Phillip Morris sell toothpaste too?
Bye the bye...I'm sure I don't need to look and see about Lever 2000. Bummer for me.
AS a former Marine, I must disagree with your use of this picture ..... So please, although I understand the sentiment, please refrain from the degradation of those professionals...the few, the proud...the Marines.Click here. Scroll and read the other comments. Just fyi.

Oh noooooooooooooo! We use their olive oil. I sure hope a FReeper has a good economical alternative. We don't buy the most expensive stuff because we use olive oil instead of vegetable oil or corn oil. HELP!
I wish I was blind. That's an image that's going to require significant therapy to remove.
HERE'S MY EMAILED COMPLAINT:
Subject line: 'Whoopi Goldberg'
As a result of that woman's obscene and childish rant at the Kerry funder last weekend, I will no longer be consuming any Unilever products. I don't normally use Slimfast, but I do--should I say 'did?'--use Birdseye, Bertolli, Hellman's, Lipton and Knorr.
No more.
Unilever ought to be profoundly ashamed of associating itself with such a hateful personality, a personality whose 'performance' was so staggeringly offensive, responsible parties refuse to release a videotape of it. Too bad for them--and Unilever--that word has already leaked out.
Spit.
Yours formerly,
[real name etc.]
I also use Hellman's and Dove, and Knorr. I'll use what I have in my house, and then buy other brands, unless they fire their foul-mouthed spokesperson. (Am whining a little about the Hellman's, but it also gives me the opportunity to start making my own fresh mayonnaise.)
The 1.9% drop was done on almost double the normal 6 month average daily trading volume! That's what they would call "irregular volume alert". It'll be interesting to watch chart tday. No wonder the company is worried.
Great job, Freepers!
...not a very appealing idea...
