Goya aisle at my store

[PCIntern]

I just got back from the Acme Market near Atlantic City, and the aisles were shopped as they normally are but the GOYA aisle looked as though it was restocked five minutes before I got there or people aren’t buying it. I will check periodically but it was pristine. Not certain as to mechanism. We shall see.

1. ETTD

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

33. What in the world does ETTD mean?

Not all abbreviations are obvious to the casual observer.

[Nevilledog]

34. Everything Trump Touches Dies

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

35. It would actually be more effective to print it out completely.

[Nevilledog]

36. It's used quite commonly on this board, but I'll keep that in mind.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

38. I read this board every day.

I had seen the phrase itself, but not the abbreviation, or at least not that I had noticed.

15. Good one!

He did a great impersonation. The guy is even orange. Thank you for recommending.

[pwb]

3. I have never used that brand.

and never will now.

[hlthe2b]

4. Me either and I cook a lot of Mexican dishes, especially with beans. Lots of alternatives.

So, Goya can GO YA (the bankrupt way of many foolish CEOs)

[Codeine]

16. I used to buy their pigeon peas quite often.

Obviously no more.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

5. Your store has rice?

The shelves are empty in northern Virginia.

Also, that's a lot of Goya. Was this in the Latino ethnic food section?

[Totally Tunsie]

19. That was my reaction too - we haven't had rice on shelves in months.

I've been ordering all rice items online.

My Stop & Shop has a sizable Goya section, right next to other vegetable brands, and the difference is notable. While other brands are obviously selling, the Goya cans sit untouched.

I like Goya products, but the competition brands are certainly adequate for my needs. Goya does seem to have nicer quality, such as larger, firmer beans (esp. garbanzo), but I care where my $$$ go, so will buy others instead.

26. I live in PA and we have no problem with rice. Flour and yeast and canned milk were limited for a

while but not now.

[ProfessorGAC]

40. Same Here

I'm really confused why there are shortages of anything anymore.
At least, in the consumer product arena.
Most of these manufacturers were considered essential in all states.
The panic buying ended over 3 months ago.
There is almost nothing that isn't fully stocked.
I'll say wipes & disinfectant cleaners are among those that aren't, but I'm still talking 60 or 75%. Empty shelf space, but product there.
We have noticed zero food products short for several weeks now.

[Doreen]

6. Until this made the news I had never heard of it.

[Rebl2]

10. Same here

[Blue Owl]

7. Trouble, Goya?

[malaise]

8. LOL

Don't use canned food period, but we always have dried beans in stock. Just replenished this year's hurricane supply and deliberately bought no Goya.
We get fresh kidney beans at the market - pigeon peas are now out of season until October.

[Codeine]

18. I've never seen pigeon peas except canned.

But then again, I don’t suppose I’ve ever really thought to look. Now I will!

[lindalou65]

9. Canned goods at Target in Longmont, CO

I was just at Target yesterday in Longmont, CO and saw only one brand of beans---yep, Goya! I did not buy any beans. The shelves are typically stocked with other brands so I am not sure whether the Goya aren't selling or what.

11. The result of praising an insane dictator wannabe

who never admits wrongdoing and who is guilty of many deaths

[Totally Tunsie]

12. Same is true of the stores in my area (RI/MA).

The Goya prez is learning the hard way that "Silence is golden."

Rice on the shelves? Aren't you the lucky one! None to be found around here, even in the warehouse stores. I've had to order the 72 oz. box of Minute Rice online.

[PCIntern]

14. Tons of rice here's

And yes we have a reasonably large Hispanic population here.

[TexasBushwhacker]

42. Any Asian supermarkets?

You'll find plenty of rice there as well as good produce and a large selection of fish.

[BigmanPigman]

13. I checked the Goya products at my store

in San Diego last Fri and it was fully stocked at 7PM. I asked the clerk if this was due to a boycott and he said hardly anybody buys Goya on a regular basis and they always look fully stocked. That says something about their product when a large portion of the population is Hispanic. I think Goya must suck a lot and they have to push it at the W House.

[appleannie1]

28. The price is almost double for a lot of their products. At least where I live.

[BigmanPigman]

39. Ah, that explains it.

Maybe if they cut their price to be more competitive they would not have to do an infomercial at the W House.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

17. For beans, I don't think you can get Casera in the US. Which I grew up with. La Preferida is also

better quality. As mentioned before. I hate Sazón. A good adobo, can be found in other brands or easily mixed at home.

[LSFL]

20. Dammit Trump...

Goya is the only brand of Adobo in my area. Time to goog a homemade version.

41. Thanks!

[Stinky The Clown]

21. I shop at two different Safeways, depending on what else I am looking for

I went to the more rural one on Monday and it looked like yours. Lots of Goya and other brands clearly selling. This is a purple area of a blue county. Tomorrow I will be at the other store in a blue area.

[Dios Mio]

22. I've bean offended.

[warmfeet]

23. They can choose to support the orange asshole.

It's their right.

I can choose to never buy a single one of their products again. That's my right.

Fuck'm.

[appleannie1]

24. GOYA usually is a lot higher priced than other brands too.

I would boycott them but I never buy them anyway.

[HockeyMom]

31. Iberia is cheaper

And no difference in quality

[BlueIdaho]

27. Let 'em go banko

Capitalism can be such a harsh bitch.

[Cognitive_Resonance]

29. Watch for Sale tags, better still Clearance. nt

[SleeplessinSoCal]

30. I couldn't bring myself to buy Bush's Beans back in the day.

Don't ever buy Goya. (Pat's myself on the back).

[BamaRefugee]

32. My market in San Gabriel Valley, CA, has maybe 3 cans left on the shelves

Usually lots and lots of Goya stuff, don’t know if hoarders cleaned them out, or they just aren’t restocking.

[niyad]

37. Have not been to the store since the idiot spoke, but the g section barely a quarter that size.

We have rice, and many brands of beans. But I have no idea what is happening at the many Hispanic markets here.

[donkeypoofed]

43. Goya sales tank, but did same happen to My Pillow guy?

Or any other companies or company CEO's who've supported Spanky ?

I know with actors or fave reality tv stars, once they say they support Spanky, I can't even stomach them anymore.

[greytdemocrat]

44. Boycotts are childish.

And rarely work over the long term
needed to make a difference.

[chriscan64]

45. The CEO must have complained about the boycott to Trump.

The photo ops with the beans were surely an attempt to smooth things over. I feel a little sorry for him, but he should have known not to wade into these political waters. Most businesses avoid that very thing, but when forced to pick a side, they see the numbers and those are not with Trump.
