1. Whole Foods demographic is not exactly a significant chunk

of Goya’s business.

[essme]

5. no. it's not. However, the people that shop there

have a pretty significant chunk of cash to spend as they wish.

This will hit Goya.

[Bev54]

24. Well they better have cash

those beans are pretty expensive

[thesquanderer]

30. I think WF customers buy plenty of beans. But I think they also skew liberal/Dem. (n/t)

[tanyev]

2. I don't care how many tweets Donny and Ivanka send out featuring GOYA products,

there's not much in their product line the average MAGAt would want to buy. Plus, it's got Spanish words on the label and they don't like that kind of thing.

[Goodheart]

4. Competing, more affordable brands like San Marcos and La Costena are higher quality, anyway.

[Ohiogal]

6. For sure!

They go off into a rant if they have to Press 1 for English... you know what a burden that is.

[Goodheart]

3. A new first for me: a photo of bean cans makes me smile.

[lagomorph777]

13. The previous photo of a can of beans made me angry.

[pazzyanne]

27. + 1 nt

[calimary]

36. Me too! This one's MUCH better.

Whatever brand the trump machine is promoting, I'll buy the competitor.

[Throck]

7. Goya is overpriced as well.

I prefer Aldi brand.

Although all beans contribute to global warming.

[obamanut2012]

29. Yup, always buy basic dry goods and crunchy snacks at Aldi!

Other things, too, but especially those two things.

[Throck]

42. College Days; Dried Beans

I learned how to cook dried beans in college, big money saver there too.

[Paladin]

8. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (nt)

[Cha]

9. Brilliant! Stupid Hawking BEANS from his oval

desk didn't help the beans.

That's not very appetizing packaging, imo.

365 and Amy's look much better.

[donkeypoofed]

10. Never buying Goya again, ever !

Once Spanky & the daughter he sexually desires used the WH to shill for Goya, I was done with the company permanently. Those pictures make me see red. If Hillary had done anything like this, certain members of the GOP would've had apoplexy so hard for the tv cameras that some may even have died. Ridiculous.

[liberalmuse]

11. I buy beans all the time.

Oddly, not a single Goya brand out of all the beans in my pantry. And now there never will be. Vegetarians/vegans use beans in a ton of different ways. I don’t know a single Trumper who is a vegetarian or vegan. I think in the long run, Goya will lose revenue from this. Trump left his mark on this brand and that will not sit well with anyone who has any amount of social awareness.

[MLAA]

19. This vegan sure won't be buying goya beans 🙂

[Mendocino]

28. This vegan

buys mostly dried beans. I'll do a big batch, eat them for days.

[MLAA]

37. I need to try that, I haven't cooked them in a long time.

I’m pretty lazy and one of my favorite meals is homemade mash potatoes and Bush’s Vegetarian baked beans.

What kind of dried beans do you cook and what do you add to them? 🙂

[Mendocino]

46. Mostly pintos and black

also black eyed, white, kidney, garbanzos, cannellini,...lentils, split peas. For starches brown rice, barley, orzo, couscous, quinoa, bulgur. I chop some onion, celery and carrots, some bay leaf; then cook them down. When the beans are cooked, then I add whatever herbs and spices. I do like some off-beat veggies; okra, parsnips, rutabagas, turnips.

[MLAA]

48. Do you add the rice after the beans have cooked down?

🙂

[Mendocino]

49. I cook whatever starch

separately from the beans, rice gets "gluey" otherwise.

[MLAA]

51. Thanks!

[liberalmuse]

52. They are filling and satisfying

so I also could eat them for days. Canned beans are convenient, but I just got a small Instant Pot and have started buying dry beans. Either way they are so good (and cheap!).

[bucolic_frolic]

25. Maybe the CEO got played?

His company softened up for potential suitors? Maybe an oligarch or two?

[central scrutinizer]

12. Let's start a rumor

Goya food is halal.

[lagomorph777]

14. And Kosher, and Vegan.

[MLAA]

38. And 20percent of profits go to black lives matter

[jmg257]

15. They're great in chili! And their coconut cream in Pina Coladas?? YUM!!

[yuiyoshida]

16. bwahaahaa!!!

Customers are giving the middle finger to Trump and those who want him to represent them.

[tavernier]

17. My daughter is away on vacation for a month.

She called me and asked me to throw away any Goya products in her pantry. I won’t do that. I’ll remove them from her house and take them to the food pantry. They’ve already been purchased so not much sense in wasting food.

[Freethinker65]

18. I actually liked the Goya brand a lot. Very disappointed in the CEO being so stupid to alienate

to alienate consumers like me.

[MLAA]

20. This pic makes me very happy! Glad you shared it.

[whopis01]

21. A Trump-loving neighbor posted this the other day:

He was actually so excited to see a full end cap of Goya that he took a photo and posted it as proof that the boycott isn't happening.

I wonder if he will ever realize the failure in his logic.

[obamanut2012]

32. They are probably on the end cap because they aren't selling

My Publixs seems to do that.

[safeinOhio]

22. Want to get rich.

Start a new product...Dump Trump Beans.

You can have my idea, just send me a few cans.

[bucolic_frolic]

23. They're a food company, they'll survive

I bought Goya barley in March. In May when I went for restock, they had a different brand and different packaging in the same Goya display. Can't help notice the brand has a zip code a few towns over from Goya in NJ. So if they can't sell Goya, they'll likely use a different subsidiary, or package wholesale for different distributors.

Sorry to throw cold water on the whole thing, but it's a reality that companies shift gears rapidly.

[mdbl]

26. I won't buy Goya ever again for fear they may

make me as stupid as Trump

[RobinA]

47. I Only Buy Goya

and I haven't noticed any increase in stupidity.

[mdbl]

54. suit yourself

[appleannie1]

31. The only store in my area that sells GOYA is a food outlet

I sometimes shop there for limited items like tomato sauce, etc. They buy overstock that are nearing their sell by date and retail it at a much lower price to get rid of it while it is still good. They almost always have a full stock of GOYA. I find GOYA products are overpriced for one thing and things like their corn meal and tomato sauce suck. One time buying them and threw half of it out. The corn meal is very, very fine and if you are making fried polenta, it does not set up right. The tomato sauce has all kinds of stuff other than tomatoes in it and I found out the hard way not to make spaghetti sauce with it. The fact they always have a full stock says to me that other stores have a problem selling it.

[CaptainTruth]

33. GOYA --- Gas Outta Your Ass?

[virgogal]

34. Much ado about nothing.

[pandr32]

35. That's happening here, too!

By now the company must be aware.

[IronLionZion]

39. Goya has plenty of competitors in canned food and spice/seasonings

this was a dumb move for them as they lose more customers than they would gain. Trump supporters are probably not going to buy canned beans and adobo seasoning as often as Latinos have.

[nattyice]

40. Saw the exact same thing at Walmart in Cherry Hill, NJ

[Iggo]

41. Dumb move, Goya guy.

[flying_wahini]

43. They won't be getting any money from me.

[LiberalFighter]

44. Trumpies not buying Goya? Hmm

[Flaleftist]

45. They bought their one can for their Facebook selfies. They're done now.

[DBoon]

53. after bravely entering the hispanic foods section of their supermarket

while quickly looking over their shoulder to make sure they wouldn't be abducted by MS-13

[Hekate]

50. Grocers should take that stock & donate it to the local food bank, where it is badly needed
