this is not news news

It's not that kind of blog, after all, but when I read this a while ago, I did think I ought to comment, at some point.

I just made a major fuss (involiving two members of staff) at the shop down the road, due to the lack of Caramacs for the past month or so, which reminded me.

It seems to me that Nestle have two problems. One is that there's a bunch of ant-globalisation anti-capitalism people who seem to think that piecemeal boycotting of certain brands is going to make some kind of difference to the world, and good luck to them with that. Though, realistically, you'd starve to death, wouldn't you, before you had any impact. Personally I boycott things that I can't afford, like Gibson guitars.

The other is that Nestle gave me the bum's rush when I suggested the Caramac Kit Kat. I know it would work, and yet they don't seem to trust my judgment. I wonder why that is?
