MODERATORS
Dollar Tree and Family Dollar are included but not Dollar General. DT and FD are owned by the same parent company if I remember correctly.
Goddamnit guys, all you had to do was not put lead in the fucking cinnamon.
Understood. Ok guys turn off the lead dispensing machine and turn on the arsenic one!
Expect issues like this to get worse as the disparity in wealth continues to grow.
Way more expensive than the dollar store, but worth it!
Bonus: their official "fuck Republicans" page:
That looks amazing, I'm buying some spices (for my already bursting spice cabinet)!
People who are already buying their spices at the dollar store aren't going to be buying Penzeys, as good as their spices are.
Why are they getting a chance to recall "volunteer"?
If this is not good for human consumption then it should be removed period.
Our is this because this product will be bought mainly by poor people and fuck them?
The FDA, at this point, doesn't have the personnel or funding to force the recall.
I would imagine I could find lead contaminated cinnamon at any number of stores around here.
Jeez its copyright date is a decade behind.
My in-laws got us a gift box from Penzey’s a while back, I’ve been using their sandwich sprinkle seasoning on grilled cheese sandwiches. Shit’s good. 👍
They have this thing called "Pie Spice" that is amazing on hot buttered popcorn.
There's another one called "Mural of Flavor" that makes creamy soups taste like Chicken in a Biscuit crackers. LOL.
I used to live near a penzys, really great spices! And the owners are definitely Democrats!
