(40,915 posts)Conservative suckers pay cash for expensive symbolism/ketchup.
In the Kerry/Dubya election, the right wingers had this conservative ketchup so they would be protesting Heinz ketchup, which they thought was enriching Kerrys wife. She had sold most of her part of Heinz. The conservative ketchup was very expensive and then you had to pay shipping, which was not cheap either. I emailed one of the companies wondering if they had actually bought or leased a factory to make a short-term fad product. They contracted it out to a gourmet ketchup company ---- in California.
The conservative sheeple were buying overpriced ketchup from Liberalfornia to protest something that was not happening.
I wished them well in their endeavors. They found a niche market to make a good buck off the easily led.
Funny thing - Heinz Corp was primarily supporting republicans.
