The snacks are bad too
So more like LesserProduct
People seem to misunderstand the term lesser evil. Because lesser evil doesn't mean things are good. They are still admittedly evil. They are being open about it
It really is the most corporate capture of a term to turn it into yet another marketing buzzword, isn't it?
There was (or is) a brand called noevilfood or something that did union busting and a podcast I was listening to called them mo'evilfood
They've gone all in on advertising with their Weird White Buddha Babies and it's tough to watch
"Fortunately for us, Coca-Cola has set the bar for what constitutes 'lesser evil' incredibly low."
the stock guy
That really isn't very specific, especially in America.
This one's on TV
Thought this was the vegan snackfood company that got famous for union busting with a land acknowledgement, that also got featured on Chapo as a reading series.
Gene Hackman I am disappoint
Think it was just a regular shitty snack company till the DOGE father took them over, Hackman's relatively clean here
