I bought some funky Pringles a couple of months ago and sent Kellogg an email to complain. They sent me a coupon for up to $5 for any single product from a number of their lines, and I intend to use it. After that, I’m done. The only thing I will miss are Keebler cookies.

I was actually impressed how they described why the Pringles were bad. They seemed interested in keeping their customers happy.

Oh well, I love(d) Kellogg’s products, but will NOT support companies that have the stupidity to use my money to sell politics.

Good grief, you idiots, where did you get your business degrees, Harvard?

STFU and make good breakfast cereal.

Anyone still consuming manufactured food products is ignorant of the realities...

I do not remember who said it but it may have been a former Surgeon General: “You can get more nutrition from eating the boxes than from eating the cereal,” or words to that effect. ;-)

I make homemade granola.

And mr. mm eats that almost every day, or bacon and eggs.

We haven’t had store bought breakfast cereal in YEARS.

Am I being too nice?

Is it true you're really pulling all your ads from Breitbart? My friends, I like your products, but frankly, this strikes me as being short sighted.

First, it just means I won't be seeing your ads. Your loss, not mine.

Second, it signals that an economic mini-war of some sort is going on, and people are going to be motivated to take sides Breitbart has millions of motivated readers / allies. We know how to find similar products made by your competitors. We know how to shop generic.

It is wrong of you to boycott Breitbart, because Breitbart is just a news/commentary site. It is not racist-sexist-antisemitic, etc, it is not beyond the pale.I and my friends go there every day.

These losses to to you are entirely avoidable. Please reconsider.

If you think I'm being too nice

... I would thoroughly enjoy reading YOUR message to them. Want to let us read over your shoulder?

I prefer CHOCOLATE FROSTED SUGAR BOMBS! They are sort of bland till you spoon more sugar on them.

Carbs and sugar for breakfast. That’s a good idea.

> I will not buy Kellogg products.

Neither will I.
In 1998 I had to go to Tennessee to represent my company in a lawsuit. Kellogg’s was suing Square-D and my company.
A pressure sensor, clearly marked as unsuitable for refrigeration systems had failed and contaminated 3 million boxes of Kellogg’s Eggo waffles. The jury decided Kellogg’s was a 90% contributor to the problem and we were a 10% contributor because, although the sensor was labeled properly, the advertising literature didn’t have the proper size lettering.

Kellogg’s was looking to recoup the money for removing the contaminated waffles, tossing the discolored packaging and putting the waffles in a new box. We asked about the waffles themselves and the Kellogg’s attorney said that the contaminant was ammonia and commercial refrigerant and that the average toaster would cook off any contaminants.

I told the attorney that my kids would eat the waffles frozen right out of the freezer. Kellogg’s responded that this is not proper preparation.

Bottom line, Kellogg’s re-boxed the tainted waffles and sold all 3 million boxes.

My family has not used Kellogg’s products since.
