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)

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 shittier beans compared to the other brand.

So fuck Goya for everything you said but also fuck them for having a shit ass product.

Yup, came here to say this.

I still remember when that happened. I worked at a grocery store at the time and so many MAGA came and bought so much Goya by the case. Never saw them by those ever again even when they did get beans (many of them were regulars and it was a small store so there was only ever 1 cashier on duty at any time unless it got busy).

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.

idiomaddict@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 168d (1 reply)

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.

TheTechnician27@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 168d

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 Post's 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.

TheAsianDonKnots@lemmy.zip · 26 pts · 168d (1 reply)

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