The factory explosion that cost me my teeth and eye was a Nestlé owned business. Weaseled their way out of any responsibility and threatened to sue me for reporting it because of non disclose agreements. Everything they touch turns to shit.
So sorry to hear that, given their extensive record of evil I'm honestly not surprised. No doubt if they got into tobacco they'd use slave labor to grow it
In 2002 they tried to buy Hershey. They entire town told them no. That company really earned my respect that day. Reports now say that Nestlé rejected their selling price but being employed by Nestlé at the time, we saw the drama unfold. When they got rejected, they threatened disciplinary action on anyone found at the company with Hershey products.
Wow I don't care for most Hershey products but they've just earned my respect too. So refreshing to see people with a backbone stand up to monopolizing. I've noticed with stories like that things are never as simple as what the press says, there's always more going on behind the scenes.

I'm thinking a Great Value virginia perique blend might be pretty good.

I like their paper plates and ketchup just fine.
Around 2000, I saw a fellow in southern Missouri smoking Always Save brand cigarettes, but those not-so-distant times are already long gone. Great Value Synthetic Opioid Sauce in a family size, easy squeeze bottle is more likely.

Give me a break,
Give me a break,
Break you off a piece of that
Erinmore bar!

That strangely fruity taste
is gonna make your day

And everywhere you go
you hear the people say...

Give me a break,
Give me a break,
Break you off a piece of that
Erinmore bar!

I did an Erinmore tin for the Secret Santa thread in 2023. You’d appreciate the Marcel Duchamp Fountain/urinal reference.
