What exactly are the chances of 2 boycotts being called within the same week for the same company but for different reasons? Hershey's once had an image in the mind's eye of a handsome GI during WW2 giving out Hershey bars to the town's admiring children as they marched through Europe. The epitome of genuine American kindness played out overseas and at home.
BUT THEN
Along comes NAFTA and a free trade agreement. The agreement that was going to solve the immigration problem by sending more jobs to Mexico. Sounds great on paper, but the reality is the minimum wage in Mexico is now 25% of what is was pre-NAFTA. More immigration than ever coming here and fewer jobs when they arrive. Hershey plans to exploit the cheap labor and wave goodbye to it's long time home. I plan on waving goodbye to my favorite candy bar with almonds.
And in Hershey, Pa., the granddaughter of H.B. Reese, creator of the Peanut Butter Cup, vowed that no Hershey's product, including the one named for her grandfather, would pass her lips again.
Then you have the scummy lawsuit against beyond bomb. Products with entirely different names and markets that couldn't have possibly caused brand confusion or lost sales. And they don't bring the lawsuit until after the distro of beyond bomb's products had ceased. I have to ask if the products don't exist any more then what's the point?
