That’s a poser. Good to see that Carl Sagan is still writing their slogans, however.
Full disclosure: I am proud to have contributed to their declining sales as recently as yesterday. Two/three times a year i’ll buy a small order of French fries, but yesterday, despite feeling peckish, I drove on by and said “Fuck 'em!”.

People are saying no one has ever seen that kind of stupid before - and I tend to agree.
It’s actually pouring rain today where I live. Maybe its time to cozy up with a good book at some point and tune out the noise.
Happy May Day to all the working class worker bees around the world today.

“You know, somebody said, ‘Oh, the shelves are going to be open.’ Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, you know? And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally."
The total ignorance of what the economic lives of ordinary people are like is matched only by the casual contempt for what he imagines them to be like.
I am guessing that the rush to purchase Chinese goods just before the tariffs hit will be used to price these items as they would have been post-tariff. Why not? Maximize those profits! Same for everything currently on the shelves.
It’ll be greedflation all over again, just like in the afternath of Covid.
