(18,219 posts)There is a picture of one of their cups with "John 3:16" printed on the bottom at the link.
I have never been to one, since I live in PA, so I can't speak to the taste of their food. All I know that my California nieces love In N Out. But I always did love Chick-Fil-A sandwiches, although I will not eat another one.

(13,305 posts)It says at that article that it's a Jewish company, not a Christian company. And unlike the other companies where it seems like they're using their Christianity to promote hatred, bigotry and support of Republican causes, the Timberland example was the head severing ties with Chinese sweat shops.
