I love that he is appearing in front of A white house. Not THE White House but his base won’t care. The vibes are right, ya know?
Well crap, are there other companies I need to add to my list along with "Goya" for "never going to buy their products again?
Hate to show you this...but there's a shit ton of shitty companies
Edit- For some reason, I couldn't upload the higher res version, so here's a link. https://www.oxfamamerica.org/explore/stories/these-10-companies-make-a-lot-of-the-food-we-buy-heres-how-we-made-them-better/
Well, technically there are a shit ton of shitty subsidiaries. There are only like six companies, period. Which is a problem in and of itself. And it turns out all six are shitty.
⭐️⭐️🌈✌️😘
You can add Pringles to the Mars tree
Going to need a higher resolution image, I can barely tell some of the brands on here
To be honest, it's not so much shitty companies, but shitty purchasing decisions
I wouldn't buy any products from any brands listed there because I know they're cheap, over-processed junk. Literally everything there.
If you're buying that stuff because it's cheaper, you need to learn about nutrition. You can get far more calories/nutrients/minerals/protein from slightly more expensive products, costing you less overall
I'm still on the buycott for Kelloggs after they dropped breittbart so all I buy is special k. Unless they've changed something since then.
Edit. Looking it up, looks like they were doing alrightish but then they busted a union. On the other hand Post is working with trump, and general mills has been working with Israeli settlements. I guess you can go with some small brands. I'll still buy Kelloggs until I hear they change paths on breitbart since it's what I'd been doing.
I'll never buy Maxwell House and Folgers again! I mean I never bought them previously...
Yeah I switched to Badia
Download the app GUU (Goods Unite Us ) it shows companies political contributions to which party. Or just look at the lemmy community [email protected]
He's so sleepy looking and low energy
So old and tired
It’s weird
Sleepy Don
Didn't their previous sponsor, that pillow guy, go to prison?
Not yet, currently just super broke and attempting to pay for legal fees.
Wow, look at that guy. He's old and looks to be suffering from some form of cognitive disorder. Is he having a stroke? Is it dementia? Too much adderall? He should drop out and seek treatment. It's just sad.
Good time to see which politician companies support. Check out the lemmy community [email protected] Or the app GUU (Goods Unite Us ) or site https://www.goodsuniteus.com/
Capitalists supporting capitalist supporters? I'm shocked.
This looks like a scene of a satire dystopian movie, like robocop or the running man...
It‘s literally Idiocracy
Nope Idiocracy is far more optimistic.
Remember, they found our someone was more intelligent so they gave him the job of fixing the country.
Or Idiocracy
Old man complaining about something with some trash nearby. That stuff isn't anything I would normally buy but I am for sure not buying any of it now.
I have bought Folgers and Maxwell House in the past when in a pinch but never will again. Fuck any companies that support fascism.
Johnsonville, Jimmy Dean, Folgers, Maxwell house and Post cereals are now joining Goya, Amazon, Chic Fil A and Walmart on my boycott list.
I liked Johnsonville :(
Aw man, goodbye Johnsonville beer boiled brats
"I am told, these things are groceries"
His handlers told him to talk about more kitchen table issues, so he brought a kitchen table.
"I think we actually need more tax. Putty Tacks, for school teachers! And Mexico should pay for them!"
I didn’t watch it but my guess is the context is something like “all these groceries got more expensive under Joe Biden!” He was bitching about not being able to afford bacon a couple days ago.
Yet it's that fat fuck's lack of attention to pandemic profiteering that led to the inflation. The last 4 years have been trying to mitigate the effects of his half-assed handling of the situation.
He was bitching about not being able to afford bacon a couple days ago.
That's because of the lawsuits, not inflation.
Surely they wouldn't do that...
"Look at how expensive crooked sleepy Joe biden has made this trash. Who would even buy this."
hes standing next to what i eat!
hes got my vote!
As a European, I genuinely laughed. Then I remembered the deteriorating effect of US bullshit on my country and cried.
Time to boycott all those companies. Added to the list that includes Goya.
I don't know if those companies had any say in whether their products were used, but this wasn't supposed to be for advertising. It was supposed to be a gimmick for what was stated to be a message on the economy, but the orange atrocity personified saw a squirrel and the whole address ended up being the same whiny bullshit.
Plot twist: the products were placed by competing brands because they knew the product placement would backfire
America Decides…
MAXWELL HOUSE… or… FOLGERS!
Fr tho stable jenius looks real low energy lol
Screw the sissy coffee brands. I'm drinking the Iron Goddess of Mercy Oolong this morning. And tomorrow I might have some Lumber Slut Shu Pu Er.
I only want products with a manly name!
I for one am excited for this new form of capitalism! The government picks one brand to be the national brand for everyone.
Hey, wait a minute...
If you go far enough to the right, command economies become a cool idea again.
He's trying to appeal to boomers.
Nothing says boomer more than warm, raw Jimmy Dean's!
donOLD
Guess no more honey bunch of oats. I hope cheerios is good.
Sadly, there was also a box of Cheerios on the table, just not in this particular screenshot.
These are prrtty solid if you still want the oats and can find.them. https://www.cheerios.com/oat-crunch-cereals
Just letting us know what not to buy ever again
Goddamnit I liked honey bunches of oats.
Good news! Post people donate heavily to Dems and not much to Republicans... Not sure about the dark money though... No idea why he's got breakfast there... Think he might be losing it
Any chance their campaign just randomly grabbed stuff from the grocery store and put them there? Not sure the companies approved of this display. They do the same thing with music at Trump rallies. They just assume they can use it.
They probably did... Folgers and Jimmy Dean are pretty right-wing, but Post gives mostly to Dems according to open secrets... I don't know about the others
Junk advertising by a weird junk candidate.
Eh that bitch sold beans from the oval office, we know he can be bought and sold on the cheap
You give me tax cuts for the rich, what little healthcare you have left, your reproductive rights, free elections, and the ability to commit felonies.
I give you, a pack of sausages and a tin of burnt coffee grounds.
Him being sponsored by Folger's has the same energy as this parody of a real Folger's advertisment.
Damn, I was nodding along, accepting this as real, for way too long
Ah yes
instantincest coffeeFolgers cofveve
Apparently the best part of waking up is donating to the GOP.
maybe that's who the incest commercial was targeting all along, the GOP.
For those who have had the pleasure of never seeing the referenced commercial: https://youtu.be/uMwFWDIFVCU?si=NhgQ2NVTGxV1XeI2
Also the follow up parody that isn't all that far of a stretch: https://youtu.be/CKgKPGBa9EQ?si=Brw1QPCopPMB5KOl
Folger's missed a great opportunity when coffee enemas became a fad. Slogan could have been "The best part of waking up, is Folger's up your butt."
Chock full o'Butts
Starbutts and Donkin' could get in on it.
Exhausted Don
Doesn't he look tired?
Done for Don
It was the words in his latest "intelligence" test. Coffee, honey bunches of oats, sausage (jimmy dean & Johnsonville). He got 5/5 and is a certified apple genius now
There are dozens more on a table to the left side out off camera. Is it confirmed these brands had any prior knowledge of are actually publicly backing trump?
I am fully aware the personal pocket books of the heads of these companies are deep for the GOP.
Yeah, I have no idea if this means something, or if Politics Gallagher there just brought out some props for “muh inflation” before smashing them with a sledgehammer.
I would love to see Trump try to swing a sledgehammer.
He’s just trying to get PAC funding from General Mills or whoever the fuck makes that shit
It's all Monsanto if you go far enough.
Maxwell House and Folgers are owned by different companies. This isn't the same as the Goya thing from a while back.
He's diversifying!
It's not product placement. Trump's campaign staff is making a vain attempt to get Trump to talk about the issues rather than all the ineffective personal attacks and name calling.
They've been writing speeches to get Trump to talk about inflation. This time they added some props to force him to talk about how these items cost more now. Of course Trump only spent a few minutes saying something vague about inflation and then regressed back to his typical ramblings about how if Kamala gets elected the world will end or whatever.
Ideally this kind of message would work better if Trump was in a grocery store, but he doesn't venture from his two homes very often these days, so they set up a table in front of his Golf course so he could talk about it there. So it looks like product placement, but it's just a vain attempt to get Trump to deliver some kind of economic message.
Haha the only thing they had to change between 2016 and now is replacing Pence with Vance and adding an exclamation point to the slogan.
...Holy shit... Is that why they picked Vance for VP? So they could save money on signs and shirts?
How long till he wears a Spirit Halloween branded tie?

This doesn't look like food. More like... plastic?
Price is Right pricing game looking-ass conference
I thought the products were an illustration of how much food is in his colon. You know: why he's so full of shit.
Makes me glad I don't buy Folgers
That's how he gets his funding now.
God damn it Johnsonville are the only halfway decent bratwurst my nowhere grocery carries. Guess it'll be the rare time I find them at a farmers market.
GOD DAMN IT
I feel your pain!
Hey, cool, I use some of those! Not the coffee: wtf is with instant coffee? Do most people really still use that when a basic drip machine is so cheap and ubiquitous.
And the Jimmy Dean “Hot” is usually better tasting, unless you have someone who needs the mild
Drip coffee takes too long and most people are too lazy/dumb to figure out how to schedule the coffee machine (if their machine even has that feature at all).
To maximize my sleep, I give myself a 15 minute window to get up and get to work. I don't drink coffee, but if I did, I'd go with instant. Just heat up the water and stir in the coffee mix. Takes less than 2 minutes.
Well I'm not buying any of those products ever again. They're un-American.
It's the best part of waking up.
I can never separate Folgers from the commercial parody...
Edit: For the uninitiated
unfortunately I always think of the Manson Family murders when I hear Folgers
He’s showing you which products to never buy again
Did you smell like a corpse before the shower? That might explain the deadmans visage you see
Old man looks miserable. Couldnt happen to a nicer guy.
And again, let's talk about social security, with Folgers, social security can't fail. Social security will wake up every day to the gree aroma of Folgers coffee and Folgers coffee will bring up it's game! With Folgers coffee and honey nut Cheerios, well also fix all of our homeless. Honey nut Cheerios and Folgers for breakfast give the homeless the energy they need to get thru their day.
Needs more slurring and made up words. I give it a B-.
Oh I wasn't trying to impersonate the president this time. That's illegal. Right? I mean I had this big big guy come up to me this morning, crying the big guy. He says, to me: daddy can you pass me the honey nut Cheerios please and Folgers. I'll never forget right? Because he was saying it. And when I heard it. When I heard it, it was big to me. Big news like Hilary's emails.
"And this is bacon, which you might find in a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich"
Perfect!!!!
Golf Clap
UK voters now have PTSD flashbacks
Inflation!
It's the best part of waking up.
covfefe in your cup
And you thought ads weren’t effective
Advertising is what makes America great again.
It's a Trump. They spend an insane amount of money on marketing, but a bad product is a bad product.
Folgers is great
Why is this guy being downvoted? Is there an implication of Folgers endorsing Trump? Is it implied that his liking Folgers is because of their Trump endorsement?
I'm genuinely asking, I'm hella out of the loop
See more at [email protected]
I think they’re just upset because they have different opinions on coffee
Because Folgers is horrendously disgusting, for one. Also I think it's being endorsed by trump here..
You just like sugar packets and or cream. No sane person actually likes the taste of that shit.
Edit: apparently a solid amount of Lemmy users fuck with Folgers.
I’ve had forgers once and it was the most dirt tasting bullshit.
I’m with you.
I'm not going to pretend Folger's is some fine luxury brand. I'm not going to pretend it's even good coffee. It's fine. Not great but fine.
Is it shit? No, get your ratios right and it's fine. It's cheaper and better than a Starbucks cup. If you're going for black coffee, you can do worse.
I actually just like the smell of it brewing. Heavenly.
Tastes like shit, though.
