They will now be boycotted.

What about progresso soup? I think their name might indicate their political leanings, but not sure.

No, the name came from the original Italian-American owners in 1925; it's the Italian word for "progress", which used to be a good word involving mainly industry and technology in America (not religion, politics, sex or gender).

The company has been sold and re-sold a number of times since its original family sold it in the late 60s, and is now owned by General Mills, which started in 1928 as a midwestern American breakfast cereal company but is now multinational holding company of many brands.

Sadly, most large American corporations are now politically-correct, left-sympathizing globalists now. Their founders are rolling in their graves.
