Penzey’s Spices, the Milwaukee company that held “Republicans are Racist” sale on Martin Luther King Weekend, is now dealing with a massive loss of customers and is begging for new business.
“After starting the year with Republicans are Racists we’ve set a nice little Boycott Penzeys! surge in motion,” Penzey’s CEO Bill Penzey said in an email to customers Friday. “It certainly wasn’t unexpected, but if it’s within your means, you picking up a small stack of Gift Cards would help.”
Penzey admitted that the “Republicans are Racists” email cost his business 40,000 subscribers, roughly three percent of the total. As a result, Penzey’s is offering a gift card sale “with the hope this might make it a bit easier for you to share some and possibly get a few good new customers to replace the ones we’ve lost.”
While Penzey claims that news coverage of his anti-Republican rant brought in 30,000 new email subscribers, he adds that “we are still down about 10,000. Please help.” His email then takes on a desperate tone, all but begging liberals to sign up for his email list as a way of virtue-signaling.
“If you can’t even begin to fathom how to ‘compromise’ with January 6th, or the Republican vaccine lies needlessly killing 10,000 Americans every week, if you have no desire to become half-way racist, and if their intent to destroy our climate for one thousand years to come doesn’t have you asking: ‘What if we just destroyed it for five-hundred years instead?’ we would be better off with you on this Voice Of Cooking email list,” he wrote.
Two weeks ago, Penzey wrote in a shocking email that Republicans are so racist that they fantasize about killing African Americans. “Remember how Republicans, going against a mountain of evidence to the contrary, once again lied and said BLM wasn’t a peaceful movement but instead terrorists inciting violence throughout the country and then raced out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person?” he said in his email to customers. “What a bunch of racists.”
Amid the firestorm over his that screed, Penzey bragged to the Daily Mail that we has not worried about a potential loss of customers because so many new ones would start buying his spices.
Def a pedo
NOTE TO SELF: Boycott all spice companies that have names starting with the letter ‘P’ (just to be sure).
A few years ago, Penzey’s came out anti-Trump so I compiled a list of alternatives.

I have never understood how people so astronomically stupid could have enough ability to rise to a leadership position in what was otherwise probably a fairly successful business.
God love freepers like you.!
I used to buy Penzey spice all the time, but after his first deflamatory and irrational rant (about 5 years or so ago), I looked elsewhere. I found Spice House, which actually has better flavored and fresher spices and at a better price.
3% drop?
and he goes begging?
i am thinking he is not good at math
Yeah, no shiite. What's its pronouns? Talk about androgynous …
Did you ever notice how are you can sometimes spot the liberal from their looks alone
The Spice House was started back in 1957 by Bill Penzey Sr. and his wife. It then went to Penzey Jr.’s sister and her husband, Tom Erd. They preferred to keep the company apolitical. The company was more recently sold to a couple fellows outside the family. It seems Penzey Jr (the vile guy) began his own spice ventures after college.
I just found an interesting New Yorker article from 2018: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-gastronomy/ceo-who-called-trump-racist-penzeys-spice-mix
From my above-referenced 2018 New Yorker article: “In a letter addressed to “America’s CEOs” posted to his Facebook page that December, Penzey wrote that, in the two weeks following his post-election e-mail, the ‘right wing firestorm’ cost the company three per cent of its customers.”
3% should be nothing. I’m guessing that the people who can afford to order fancy spices by mail order are not the welfare crowd.

Learning what Rush’s old sponsors who bailed on him and then wanted to come back are learning. Also learning the foolishness of Hillary’s “Deplorables” comment. She dissed half the country as “Deplorables” in a speech to an audience of people who identify and organize their personal lives around sexual relations with members of the same sex, try to wrap your brain around that.
Don’t care much for Maya Angelou but someone on here put an excellent quote of hers up a while back: When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
These are just subscribers, not purchasers?
3%
Nothing
EMBRACE THE SUCK YOU CREATED, Bully!
DITTO!!! WHY are Democrats so FUGLY? Even the MEN!!
“40,000 subscribers, roughly three percent of the total.”
Calling b.s. on this one...you don’t panic and cry at a loss of 3%. I’m guessing more like 30%.
