Go Penzey’s!

Not all corporations come from the Big, Evil Corporation Factory:

On Wednesday, Axios published a list of the entities spending the most money on Facebook ads on both sides of the impeachment debate. …

But one name jumped off the screen for its sheer one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-other factor: Penzeys Spices, the nation’s largest spice retailer, had dropped $92,000 from Sept. 29 to Oct. 5 on ads championing impeachment. That was more than self-funding millionaire Steyer, more than hard-charging Warren — more than anyone else other than Trump. [WaPo]

I wonder if they see it as civic engagement – or purely survival. Or possibly just combining political judgment with humor:

In the interview he says he isn’t afraid to disagree with potential customers, though he hopes that even people who don’t agree with his politics could still like his products: “Just because you have bad taste in politics, why should you have bad-tasting food?”

I’m glad to say we buy from Penzey’s from time to time, especially exotic spices.
