Yo people! This is war.

No more Cheerios for me. I'll find something else.

Did Applebee's pull out of advertising? If not, I'll never eat there again.

Who is with me?

1. Believe me, I'll boycott.
My wife and I have already compiled a list of any General Mills products we purchase, and planned for alternates. They'll never get another penny from me, and I'll add any other company to that list who stood by Sinclair today.

2. I am....

....I went shopping this week...spent about $250 on food. I bought lots of stuff from General Mills' competitors and I sent them my receipt with every competitor's product highlighted.

I don't think that they will really care but.....I had to do it.

Cheers,
Kim :toast:

4. Thank-you!

I just want to show them...I WILL put my money elsewhere. I know it's not much...but it's the point!

BTW, I had a great teacher...Pepsico went on strike during the early 60's...my Mom started to boycott their product; its been 40 years since she's had a Pepsi.

Cheers,
Kim :toast:
