I'll help by providing you with a list.
Largest Brands
The list was provided long ago in this thread and I still don't know why I can't boycott Oreos and not do it to all other Kraft products. Is there really a law about that?

5)First half peanut butter and half white now gay cookies
6) are they gay because they dress better?

We have Obama telling federal agencies to ignore the laws in Arizona
We have a AG who is involved with a cover up with the president
The economy is in the tank
the world is on a brink of war
and the conversation is about gay cookies
I back everyone right to boycott or not boycott but this is the Dem's making an issue so we will ignore the real problems
I wonder if you will get a reply. It seems that most people really could understand what you are talking about but many just won't.

The purpose of boycotting is to not give money to the people you disagree with. If you boycott only Oreos, but keep buying (and likely buy more of to compensate) Chips Ahoy and Kraft cheese, you are still giving money to Kraft, so the impact is offset.
So there is a rule in leftdom about what I can or can't buy if I refuse to buy Oreos? I guess I will just keep on refusing and see how long before Holder comes after me.

I am having so much fun with this thread that I hate to go back to some of the serious threads I have posted today.

Hell, I always thought that avoiding a product was a type of boycott. I still think that is the case.

Did a package of Oreo cookies just walk in through the front door or something?

Sure you can. These mega companies are huge and do division reporting on brands.
How do you think they are able to report oreo sales compared to other brand names ?

That's also how they can tell whether or not to get rid of a brand..if sales drop off.

I hadn't looked at those comments but they surely do seem to be pretty gay, don't they?

I have said over and over on this thread that it is only Oreos I won't buy or eat again.

Be careful. Janet Napolitano is branding Oreo boycotters as potential terrorists. You could end up on a no-fly list!

just face it people. Gay people aren't going away until they're treated equally just like everyone else.
