I think Lemmy has contracted the beans virus a few times.

The antibeanotics never seem to clear it up.

Do a full year gradually reduce the frequency then start ramping up with the reveal on Christmas day when they open presents with cans of beans in them.

I like this long term prank… Solves Xmas challenges, too (sorta - it’s a bit shitty)

Boycott Goya!

I had some friends in high school who thought it was really funny to leave loaves of bread in peoples’ mailboxes. When one guy asked about it, they told him it was from the government.

Oh, hey, the shithead who caused me to boycott Goya apparently got the boot last year. Too bad Goya waited five too many years; I’ll be keeping my business elsewhere indefinitely.

To be fair, from that article:
At the time, the nine-person board was in favor of removing Unanue from the company entirely, but the regulations of the family-owned business, founded in 1936 by Prudencio Unanue Ortiz — Robert Unanue’s grandfather — would not allow it, as noted by the New York Post.
Though shitty company policies are also a good reason to boycott a company.

Extremely valid point, and I forgot to bring this up: I read the NYP article (god help me), and I could find no evidence of that claim (which surprises me NJ.com cited it for that). In fact, there’s even counterevidence within the article:
Some Goya owners have also asked the board to present a motion to remove Unanue as CEO because he’s been using the company to promote his political views, sources said.
“More than 50 percent of the shareholders do not want Bob to be the CEO,” a Goya source said. “All these political statements that Bob is making is dangerous for the company and for us personally as owners,” this person added.
“It will hurt the Unanue name and company if he continues,” a second Goya source and shareholder said. “He should be thrown out as CEO. I think it’s really hurting us.”
In an interview with The Post last week leading up to Friday’s vote, Unanue acknowledged that his job may be on the line.
“I’m attacked by my own family” he said. “I could be fired tomorrow … whatever. It’s touch and go.”
As The Post exclusively reported last year, Unanue narrowly escaped losing his job when he nixed an effort to sell a minority stake in the company to a private equity investor that would have brought in a non-family member CEO for the first time in the company’s 85-year history.
It’s still possible that there’s some other source describing this alleged restriction, but I don’t know of it.

I mean, not using a corruptible president is just leaving money on the table. It’s not like-
“…his vocal support of President Donald Trump”
I hope he develops a debilitating gambling addiction so he might one day experience hardship again.

They know it is coming from OP but keep the ruse going to avoid crushing what they consider OPs only source of self gratification and pleasure going on in OPs otherwise unremarkable life.

Goya, the company that paid Trump to shill those shitty beans in the Oval Office. Our world has become a constant Onion headline.

Paying a courier to deliver a single can of beans isn’t that far either if you think about it.

Brushing is an actual scam / misleading practice, which involves receiving items you didn’t order

It doesn’t usually happen with beans

They’re actually smart to be wary of computer viruses. It just seems mean to take advantage of their ignorance of it like that, unless they’re assholes and deserve it.

Fuck GOYA products. I’ve been boycotting them since Trump promoted their products in the Oval Office.
TheColonel@reddthat.com 2 hours ago
They’re also just gross.
I don’t remember how it happened but I wound up with one can of Goya and one can of (I think) Hanover Butter Beans.
The Goya beans were slimy, smushed, having fewer and overall shitty beans compared to the other brand.
So fuck Goya for everything you said but also fuck them for having a shit ass product.
