Spring Cleaning the Spice Cabinet

The Annual Purge

Tossed some dry and dusty curry powder and other random stuff.

Got some Penzeys spices as a gift recently. This Wisconsin based importer and retailer has a unique marketing angle based on their dislike of Republicans and support of Democrats.

Kamala Harris visited a Pittsburgh Penzeys store during her campaign, where she welcomed the endorsement of the Cheney family.

I’m not a huge fan of Democrats but if more brands had the courage to say “I hate Republicans” in their marketing I would definitely try to buy their products.
