3. List of their products starts with TP...and they fund the Tea Party...ironic

[lostincalifornia]

4. Thanks

[gopiscrap]

5. Excellent I agree

I didn't know Angelsoft was a product of theirs, it's the only thing of theirs that I have bought in the past year

[Iggo]

6. Seriously? They OWN Teflon?

Too rich for their own damn good, those boys.

[physioex]

29. I don't think so...

I haven't looked it up, but I thought Teflon was invented by DuPont. Anyways shouldn't the patent have expired long time ago for Teflon?

[Gothmog]

7. I have been boycotting Koch Industry products for a while

I love the Costco brand toilet paper because I know that they have no relationship with the Kochs

[City Lights]

9. We use Costco TP also.

Never clogs the toilet the way Charmin used to.

[Gothmog]

17. I love Costco

[awoke_in_2003]

50. Costco loves you, too...

[fadedrose]

54. What about Kroger/Meijer/Kmart brands? Any Koch stuff there? nt

[City Lights]

8. Bookmarking.

Thanks, kentuck!

I was aware of most of this, but was not aware of Gander Mountain, nor American Greetings.

An informed shopper is a smart shopper.

[KansDem]

10. Thanks for the link!

I printed three copies:
1) To put on my refrigerator;
2) To put in my car's glove box;
3) To put in my desk so I can grab it when going to the store.

I shouldn't ever be without!

I do the food shopping for my family and will find this list helpful!

[ChicagoRonin]

11. Thanks a bunch for the link

Next step I think is to print the thing out, make a ton of photocopies, and start leaving it in stores wherever I go.

[G_j]

12. Scan products with this great phone app!

You can scan for Koch, Monsanto etc.
When in doubt, I use it at the grocery and other stores. I'm thrilled with it! It shows the 'family tree' of each company scanned also. I've learned a lot from using it .

13. Some people are allergic to "green" toilet paper. Kleenex makes a brand that I have found to

be as good as the Georgia Pacific's top brands.

[drmeow]

14. One of the things I hate about boycotts

is that all too often I already don't use any of the products - or, for some reason I can't. Lycra - that can be kinda hard to avoid especially if you like skinny jeans!

It is good to know so I don't switch to using them but I can't write that delicious "I have been using your products for X long but because of your Y behavior I'm now going to stop" letter

[Sophiegirl]

15. I know exactly what you mean

I would love to participate in this boycott. But there isn't a product on this list that I use.

I shall simply stand in Solidarity!!!

[Stuart G]

16. No...absolutely not...do not boycott them...Here is why

Many of those jobs in those factories are ...union jobs..
I started the same thread years ago, and person familiar with the unions in some of those locations basically said that the Koch
Brothers would like nothing better than to get rid of those union contracts and employ cheaper non union workers. So that is it.
That is what I was told, and I am passing that on here.

[kentuck]

26. It's a Hobbesian choice, no doubt...

Would it be preferable that some good paying union jobs are lost or cut, or that the Koch brothers are driven out of our political system? Difficult choice, I know.

[oldandhappy]

18. Thank You

Was thinking/wondering about this very thing earlier today!

[KharmaTrain]

19. The Ugly Truth...

...first of all, I fully endorse a boycott of these products and have avoided purchasing anything I know has Koch connections for years...even there's a certain karmic affect when wiping one's ass with GP TP...

That said, these dudes are beyond any boycott...with more money than we can even fathom. Moreso...they've already shelled out millions to fund the stink tanks and other astroturf groups that are now, believe it or not, working against the Kochs. If the government defaults, these dudes stand to loose billions; far more than they'll shell out in providing healthcare to their employees. But even they can't control the monster they funded...

[underpants]

20. Think of them when you are whipping your ass

I do

[kentuck]

27. Every time I "whip" my ass...

I think of them also.

[underpants]

49. -

Auto correct and my eyesight -- not a good mix

[Agony]

21. the rope, chain and accessories

at Tractor Supply Company are all from Koch Industries.

[fadedrose]

53. No more dog food from there..... nt

[MissDeeds]

22. Thank you so much for the list

I will share it with my friends and have my husband post it on his facebook page...(yes, I'm one of the two people in the world who doesn't have a FB page).

K&R

[Politicub]

23. Thanks for the link

[IrishAyes]

24. Thanks. I already boycott as many Koch products as I know about; list will be helpful

[Cryptoad]

25. Wally World Brand toilet paper and paper towel is by koch,, just saying

it hard to find any they don't make....... I go buy a years worth at a time .

[Bearheim]

28. If you have an iPhone

I don't know if this post is against the rules for posting, but if you have an iphone install Buycott. Makes weeding out the Koch products a snap when shopping. Just scan the barcode of a product and you'll know if it's Koch related by signing up for the Koch boycott in the app.
There are lots of companies that don't get my money anymore thanks to this one app.

[bermudat]

30. No more quilted Northern for my bum.

thank you for the list.

[tavernier]

31. And then go out

and spit in the ocean.

Thanks for the info and I will do my part, but I don't think we would hurt them financially if all their businesses suddenly went under. They've already moved their billions into off shore bank accounts.

What else could we do? Box of bed bugs?

[mercymechap]

32. Thanks!

I have been buying many of the products on the list and I will surely stop.

[RebelOne]

33. I don't use any of those products.

I always buy Kroger store brand paper products. Kroger's store brand toilet paper for a 4-pack is 88 cents and paper towels are 68 cents a roll. And I never buy any of the other above products.

[Sugarcoated]

34. Thanks for the list

I'll pass it along

[LiberalElite]

35. K&R - thank you

[nradisic]

36. I don't buy of these Koch products

I've been avoiding them for years

[TxDemChem]

37. Wow, I don't even buy those brands now

But I sure will bookmark the web page to make sure we don't accidentally sub their brands.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

38. Sadly now aware we invested a pretty good amount in Stainmaster carpet in February.

Frustrating as I boycott all other products. Actually I also prefer all other products.

[DontTreadOnMe]

39. Make the Koch brothers feel the hurt.. in their wallet!

They started the Tea Party. Now let's finish it.

[Laffy Kat]

40. The way I remember what TP to get:

Scott, as in wipe your bum with the Gov. of Fla-la-la.

[kentuck]

41. I heard somewhere that they make $3 million dollars per hour?

Does that sound about right?

[Norbert]

42. Soft 'n Gentle Toilet Tissue

is another budget brand owned by Koch Industries.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

43. A decent non-KochBros toilet paper choice is Marcal Small Steps.

Granted, it's not as cushy as the Quilted Northern we used to use before finding our the it was from the Kochs. But it's not too bad, and better once you get used to it. And, as some have said, it's not going to make much of a dent in the Koch fortune, but still. I'm happy not to buy anything from them if I can help if.

ABOUT MARCAL

OUR STORY
Based in Elmwood Park, New Jersey, Soundview Paper Company (formerly Marcal Manufacturing) is proud to be one of the oldest environmentally friendly paper companies in the US. For over five decades, Marcal has been reducing landfill by making our paper products from recycled paper. We use paper collected from residential neighborhoods, from the small blue baskets in office buildings, from unwanted junk mail, and waste from printers–all in an effort to do something good, to produce something that people need from this discarded paper.

Marcal is an integral part of the northern New Jersey community. Our company uses recyclables from local municipalities and recycling facilities for our paper recycling process.

Buy in bulk on Amazon if you have the room to store it. Smaller packages also available. Our local Giant used to stock it, but no more.

Or course, I'm not sure I like suporting Amazon.com either, but one small step at at time...

[bunnies]

51. You should try Earth First.

Its cheaper than Marcal and feels a lot less like cardboard.

[Uncle Joe]

44. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, kentuck.

[pacalo]

45. K&R.

[jsr]

46. Don't let evil go unpunished

[Decaffeinated]

47. Gander mountain has great stuff...

Bit pricey though...

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

48. Unfortunately, public schools are HUGE consumers of Georgia Pacific products

[Mc Mike]

55. Rec. nt.

[Last Stand]

56. You missed one...

The Tea Party.

Don't forget to boycott them too because they were brought to you by the Koch Bros. Fascist Regime.
