Feta Fail: Call to Boycott Trader Joe’s Over Israeli Cheese Backfires
by Shifra on December 20, 2019Hey BDS-loving Jew-haters: Say ‘Cheese’ 🙂 Via Middle East Forum. Berkeley Peace and Justice Commissioner Hatem Bazian has issued a call-out on his Facebook page to boycott Trader Joe’s for daring to stock Israeli feta cheese. Hatem writes: “Trader Joe’s is having Israeli Feta on its shelves! One more reason to stop shopping at the store. “…. Hatem may not remember the 2009 BDS action against Trader Joe’s. Trader Joe’s refused to be bullied and promoted the products with floor to ceiling displays. Consumers followed with a “buycott’ that ultimately lead to Israeli products sold out from stores coast to coast. In their zeal to be supportive, people bought cases of Israeli couscous. They began asking “what is this small...

Libs Want Whole Foods Boycott After McConnell ‘WholeFoods’ Honor
by Shifra on December 2, 2019Confused Libs. And I think I just repeated myself. 🙂 Via NY Post. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been named WholeFoods Magazine’s person of the year. No, not that Whole Foods. The popular grocery chain sent out dozens of tweets this week clearing up the confusion and emphasizing that the publication has no affiliation with its company. It was responding to outraged shoppers who have been rebuking the grocer on social media with tweets like, “SHAME ON YOU!,” “despicable,” and “What in the world were you thinking?” “I love you, but I cannot stomach this,” one user wrote. “How awful.” Some customers even pledged a lifelong boycott of the store…. Last week, the magazine featured McConnell on its...

ICYMI: Man Sues NBC Universal Over ‘Deceptive’ Unlimited Soda Refill Deal
by Shifra on October 23, 2019Oh, the horror! Oh, the humanity!…or something. Via NY Post. He’s thirsty for justice. A Bronx man is suing NBC Universal after he paid for an “unlimited refill” soda machine deal at one of the company’s theme parks — only to discover he had to wait a whole 10 minutes between each pour. Luis Arnaud is bubbling with anger over the “false advertising” — saying he learned while trying to “quench his thirst” that the refills were in fact “limited” to a measly “total of only six per hour,” according to the class-action lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court Thursday. Arnaud says he visited Universal’s Island of Adventure in Orlando, Fla., on July 30 and bought a 16-ounce “Coca-Cola Freestyle”...

by Shifra on September 1, 2019Suggested new slogan for Washington Post: Democracy dies…in dumb pumpkin spice latte exposés. Via Washington Examiner. In a weekend feature, the Washington Post tied the popular fall pumpkin spice latte rom coffee giant Starbucks to massacres, genocide, and savagery against the people of the Banda Islands, now part of Indonesia, hundreds of years ago.

Minnesota State Fair Pulls New Food Item: Donuts With Syringes
by Shifra on July 14, 2019To be filed under: What were they thinking? Via Star Tribune. Doughnuts with a side of syringes? You won’t find them at the Minnesota State Fair after all. One of the new foods for 2019 has been drawing mounting controversy since it was announced last month, thanks to an unusual accessory to the dish. The Wingwalker Donut Flight of fill-your-own doughnut holes comes with three fillings: Bavarian cream, chocolate custard and Minnesota lingonberry jam. Each of the fillings was to be served in a plastic syringe. “Incredibly wasteful,” “a gimmick,” and “gross” were some of the comments on the Minnesota State Fair’s Facebook page. Both the environmental impact of single-use plastics and the optics of drug paraphernalia littered on the...

by Shifra on March 31, 2019There is only one way to cut a bagel… Only. One. The ex-manager of the bakery chain says St. Louis-style bagels started as ‘an accident.’ This is not an accident. It is a crime! Via Times of Israel. The bread-sliced bagel was an accident. That’s what the former co-owner of Panera, Doron Berger, told me Thursday night. We talked on the phone more than 24 hours after a tweet of a few bagels, sliced like bread loaves, struck the internet like a nightmare and sparked a thousand hot takes. Twitter users famous and obscure lambasted Alek Krautman, a St. Louis native, for suggesting there is more than one way to slice a bagel…. Here’s how Berger defends the bagel blasphemy:...

Hershey’s Kisses Crisis: The Tips Are Missing!
by Shifra on December 23, 2018Oh, the horror 🙂 Via CBS News. Bakers are complaining that something is amiss with Hershey’s Kisses. The chocolate candy’s trademark tips have been mysteriously missing from batches around the country…. The Wedding Cookie Table Community group on Facebook is demanding answers. “It was like a symphony that went up across the country. They all noticed everywhere,” Laura Magone, the group’s administrator, told CBS Pittsburgh…. “The cookie bakers got a little bit testy over this issue and it’s a shock,” she said. “They care so much about the look of their cookie. The presentation is everything, so to take the time to make a homemade cookie and then have a broken something sitting on it, it’s very offensive to them.”…....

Climate Fast NJ: No Food For Two Weeks, To Protest ‘Climate Change’
by Shifra on November 12, 2018Not sure how surviving on water and no food for two weeks will “save the planet,” but it’s always good for some virtue signaling. Via NJ.com. ….A coalition of environmental groups gathered outside of the State House on Wednesday to announce the start of Climate Fast NJ, a two-week-long protest fast aimed at pressuring Murphy to take more immediate action on climate change…. “The climate crisis is the defining moral and economic issue of our time, and every new piece of dirty energy infrastructure makes this crisis worse,” said Matt Smith, a senior organizer for the activist group Food & Water Watch. “Governor Murphy has made some early moves on clean energy, but they will get us nowhere if he...

by Shifra on November 2, 2018They also drink more…to make “The Sadz” go away when elections don’t go their way. Via NBC News. The midterm elections are turning out to be nearly as stressful as the 2016 presidential election — especially for Democrats.

ICYMI: New Bagel Emoji Sparks Internet Outrage
by Shifra on October 14, 2018Whoever designed this bagel emoji probably lives in Outer Mongolia. And has no taste buds. Via Jerusalem Post. After months of anticipation, Apple unveiled its new bagel emoji this week. And users of the internet do not seem happy. In a scathing article, New York Magazine’s Grub Street said its “disappointment is truly overwhelming. Take a look at this clearly machine-cut monstrosity with its stiff and bready interior, which couldn’t possibly be redeemed by a few minutes in a toaster.” The article also lamented the distressingly smooth crust: “Is it really a bagel if there isn’t a disgusting amount of cream cheese that needs to be wiped off with a napkin before you can consume it? To be frank, this...

Taco Bell Employee Fired For Refusing To Serve English-Speaking Customer
by Tammy on September 15, 2018This is in… Hialeah, Florida! Yes, she was fired, but the report indicates *no one* at the Taco Bell spoke English.

Cookie War: Hydrox Accuses Oreo of Sabotage!
by Shifra on August 19, 2018Hydrox was the original kosher sandwich cookie for several generations of American Jews…until 1998, when Oreo, in a marketing move to increase sales, announced they were changing some ingredients, and were going kosher. Hydrox disappeared for twelve years, but the cookie is making a comeback. And accusing Oreo of (gasp!) sabotage: Via Times of Israel. You know what Oreos are…. What you might not know is that Oreos are just a copycat of Hydrox, a sandwich cookie first sold in 1908, four years before the first Oreos appeared on shelves. Even though (or maybe because?) they came second, Oreos came to dominate the market, becoming a fixture in America’s grocery stores. But for most of the past century-plus, Hydrox has...

Pickle Juice-Drinking People Go Public
by Shifra on July 1, 2018Did you ever discover a half-eaten jar of pickles in the fridge, with all the liquid gone? You probably assumed it was because you placed the jar on its side, and the liquid somehow leaked out. Well, you might want to consider an alternative reason for the missing liquid: Perhaps someone in your household is a pickle juice drinker. Via WSJ. ….Sour reactions have long driven an untold population of Americans to swig the stuff covertly. “I am a closeted pickle-juice drinker,” says Dawn Crosswhite, 51, a therapist and clinical-social-work professor in Denver, who recently admitted her habit to friend Millete Birhanemaskel…. But now there’s hope. People who privately partake of pickle juice are finding it easier to go public,...
