Oreo Takes Pro-LGBT Stance In New Ad Spot
Its not even June yet and already corporations are signaling their allegiance to the progressive LGBT agenda.
The latest seemingly unaffiliated brand to come out in support of the cause is none other than Oreo Cookie, which has been owned by the multinational food and beverage conglomerate Mondelez International since 2012.
The marketing team at Oreo couldnt wait until Pride Month to put out a new commercial spot which featured a young man coming out as gay to his grandmother.
Coming out doesnt happen just once. Its a journey that needs love and courage every step of the way. Share our new film and let someone know youre their #LifelongAlly, the ads introduction says.

I gave up Oreo cookies. How can I boycott them?

Give up all "name brands" which I did years ago. Granted, generic stuff is made by the big boys, but the profit margins are a helluva lot tighter.
I don't suppose anything I buy gets much TeeVee time, I also never turn on my TeeVee except the local Wx channel. I can't even stomach NASCAR after the Bubba Wallace debacle.
(Edit) Maybe Jeromy Boreing will start a cookie company. Ya never know with that guy.
(Edit 2) Boreing should be the next President. Everything he touches turns into gold, platinum and palladium.

(/ÌmondYÈliÐz/ MOHN-dY-LEEZ), often stylized as Mondelz, is an American multinational confectionery, food, holding and beverage and snack food company based in Chicago, Illinois. Mondelez has an annual revenue of about $26 billion and operates in approximately 160 countries. It ranked No. 108 in the 2021 Fortune 500 list of the largest United States corporations by total revenue.
The company has its origins as Kraft Foods Inc., which was founded in 1923 in Chicago. The present enterprise was established in 2012 when Kraft Foods was renamed Mondelez and retained its snack food business, while its grocery business was spun off to a new company called Kraft Foods Group. The name is derived from the Latin word mundus ("world") and delez, a fanciful modification of the word "delicious."
The Mondelez International company manufactures chocolate, cookies, biscuits, gum, confectionery, and powdered beverages. Mondelez International's portfolio includes several billion-dollar components. These components includes cookie and cracker brands Belvita, Chips Ahoy!, Oreo, Ritz, TUC, Triscuit, LU, Club Social, Sour Patch Kids, Barny, and Peek Freans; chocolate brands Milka, Côte d'Or, Toblerone, Cadbury, Green & Black's, Freia, Marabou, Fry's, and Lacta; gum and cough drop brands Trident, Dentyne, Chiclets, Halls, and Stride; as well as Tate's Bake Shop cookies and powdered beverage brand Tang.

There used to be a dairy farm on Waukegan Rd. north of Willow Rd. in Illinois. The cow manure would be spread on farm fields across the road.
When it closed, a new Kraft corporate HQ was built on that property. I used to drive right past there every day going to and from work at the state highway yard.
One winter I was driving home in my Blazer. Some woman had driven up on the center curb. I told her I would pull her off for $5. She agreed and I hooked up a chain to her car. I pulled her off. She tried to drive away and CHING, nothing doing.
I walked back up to her window. She handed me $10, and I kept it. I told her, "Don't move until I unhook the chain." If she had to get a tow truck out there it would have cost her $50. ;)

Last time I had Tang was at a neighbor friend's house in 1971 or '72 (on West Boulevard!). As I recall as a kid, it wasn't too bad. Maybe slightly better than Kool-Aid.
You are risking re-igniting the (Alleged) Moon Landing controversy here.

Me and some short electrician (size 7 shoes) woke up big man today. It was the first time for the electrician to get in a semi. Big equipment can be intimidating, like the first time I was in the France Stone quarry 40some years ago and had to approach a dump truck with a staircase on the front of it.
That experience served me well a couple years later.

Got rid of my last bottle of Roundup years ago; I'd rather live with weeds than die of cancer without them. My yard is ~60% weeds and only ~40% grass, but I won't put a herbicide on it -- the grandchildren play there.

I don't care. You see that thread I posted about an old gal and that "Elli-Q device? She's on the "troublesome list" now, I'm sure.
I just like the dance.
(Edit) I'm damned sorry I looked up that Elli-Q spybot. It knocked off all the Lilycloth.com ads with the old gals in their clever T-shirts on ZH. I was just looking at the sayings on the front of the model's shirts, honest. They have cool men's shirts too, but there's only so many hours in the day.

GOOG/EweToob and 105.1 have been mind fucking me continuously with this for a week now.
I wish I wasn't so afraid of guns.
(Edit) I kinda used to look like that guy in beginning of the video. I still do, but now I'm a lot fatter and my hair looks lihe Sen. Marsha Blackburn's (R-TN).
I'm not breakin' out the FlowBee (seriously) until the US is back on track.

Put them on the table and forgot about them. Next morning I start my day with coffee, and opened the package. Pulled out one of them to have with my coffee and it tasted pretty amazing. Ate two more. Then looked at the front of the package. They were dog treats.
Cheaper than Oreos and probably a lot healthier. Went to target and bought 3 packages of them. Cashier asks me about my dogs as she has met one of them. She then says your dogs must love these. I said, My dogs dont eat cookies. She gives me this look, and I tell her, I dare you to eat one of these and tell me its a dog treat. She wasnt having it.
On April Fools day I went to my favorite coffee shop and gave a few of these cookies to people. Needless to say, the hardest part of my day was containing my laughter when I told them they were dog treats.

Yeah, but that's almost $21 in dog money. (I have to get that multiplier right.)

I need to reset my security settings and turn off the Company keystroke logger. I haven't been paid to post anywhere for a month or more now. I'm strictly freelance now. That's why my volume's way down.

I mow about 3 acres of "grass" here in Upcountry South Carolina red clay. I have an aerator, but don't know where to get compost in large quantity (at acceptable cost). The compost we generate ourselves here is barely enough for our small garden.

Would an oz of .999 Canadian gold cover my part? If it's good enough for my mechanic it should be good enough for you. You'll have to resend your personal info, I try to sanitize that stuff weekly after the "secret agent" mishap with a former girlfriend bragging on FaceBook.
I could wire you the money, but I'm gonna need the same bank info that your benefactor in Africa does. Pin trusts me, I think. He can vouch for me. j/k
