    If I want fried chicken, I'll go to Raising Canes. Don't have any healthier options like salad, but by nature, fried chicken isn't really healthy.

    As for all the boycotts, I'm sure the free market will find a way to service all the outraged right-wingers. Heck, they already have the fashion line ready to go:

    Well, I spent more than $30 for myself and two kids under 10. My bigger complaint is the food itself. My kids didn’t even want to eat it because it was coated in so much seasoning it had the external consistency of sawdust. Mine wasn’t much better. The place had just opened so maybe it’s better now.

    I'm not surprised MH is part of Columbia. I figured a lot has changed since I got out of the industry. Funny enough, my mother in law also has access to the Columbia employee 50% off through a good friend. I have a good bit of their outerwear.

    I don't understand the love for Black Rifle. It was mediocre at best when I tried it.

    It's the name. If Folgers were to change their name to Patriot Coffee or Freedom Coffee their sales would double

    I don’t get all the hype over gay burgers.
    Guess some women are into the muff burger?

    I never understood the hype about Chic-fil-A. I guess it was the best fast food chicken, mostly because McDonalds Chicken was naaaasssty . But I recently had a McD Chicken and it rather resembled Chick-Fil-A. I never liked their waffle fries either. Weird almost chemical aftertaste.

    I think PDQ is leagues better for fast food Chicken. Just weird how the line wraps around the building at Chic-Fil-A and some much better options are quiet. I get it if you are in a town where it’s fast food or bust and it might be best for a quick bite, but not where there are options.

    It’s a little more than that. They leaned into the “patriot” theme early, and Hafer (the founder) is a former Green Beret and CIA asset. They used to make online parody ads owning the libs. In the most famous one Hafer hams it up as a liberal dad who freaks out when his son “comes out” as conservative.

    The Best of the Best latched on, like Rittenhouse and the J6ers and they got shoutouts on Fox and even from Trump.

    They kinda sorta try to walk it back on occasion. I doubt they were actively aiming for that crew but once it happened they have basically been tight-roping ever since, careful not to run them off while making generic claims like they don’t support insurrections.

    Oh, oh. Don't look now, but you may be eating foreigners' chicken.

    These companies also can’t afford to cater to these boycotters. They have a list of mortal sins that doesn’t end and new ones are added by the minute. You WILL insult them eventually. CFA basically quoted The Bible. Insufficient!

    Grizzly Man really thought he was bubbies with those bears. And it did seem like that for what I admit was a surprisingly long time. Then they literally ate him. Because they are bears. Tragically predictable. But the lesson is not an advanced one.

    Do you think that buying foreign products inherently bothers me?

    Estimated Bud Light losses due to transphobia- $1.3 billion, about 25% of what the Sacklers were able to keep for killing millions
