Penzey Embraces Hate and Trump Leaving Office

Bill Penzey's latest email:

Midnight ends the chance for free regular shipping with just $20 in spending instead of the regular $30 and your chance for a free $9.95 Embrace Hope Pin. Shipping and handling still apply, but we have reduced the price of standard S&H to just $3.95 on orders under $20.

Much of how cooking works to create better futures is in times where others abandon all hope, Cooks embrace it. With the blatant obstruction and corruption of justice by the Republican leadership in this last week, the country needs the strength of Cooks as much as in any time of our history. Get your Embrace Hope Pin before midnight!

The chance for a $9.95 half-cup jar of the bright, light Fresh and French-flavored Sunny Paris with $5 spending ends tonight, too. Fish, salads, chicken, right on up to beef and root vegetables all become something much better with Sunny Paris. Also wonderful for all egg dishes and onion soup as well.

Midnight also ends great prices on our Penzeys Minced Garlic and Regular Chili Powder. Our Chili Powder is wonderful; our Garlic is life changing. For a few more hours this Garlic is only $1 for a quarter-cup jar. The best deal of the night would be buying 20 jars of the Garlic, a $49 value, use the codes for both the Sunny Paris and Embrace Hope pin, giving you a total value of $68.90 for just $20. Free shipping, too.

What to do with 19 extra jars of Penzeys Minced Garlic? Might I suggest spreading Penzeys Garlic good will? We rely on your support so much. Your word of mouth means so much, but this Garlic on people’s tastebuds probably means even more; it really is that good.

We get letters saying: “I don't know which I like better, your Spices or your world view.” To us they are so intertwined as to be inseparable. If you can't see the goodness in the world, how could you ever bring goodness back from it? Don't miss this chance to be a Garlic Hero to 19 people in your life. —Thanks.

No coupon or code is needed for free regular shipping with $20 in spending rather than the usual $30 or the great deals on Chili and Garlic. Just visit us online at penzeys.com where these offers are automatic for everyone. While there, be sure to enter 94056C into the apply code box at check out for your free Embrace Hope Pin, and if you spend $5 you can also use 15453C for the Sunny Paris. No need to place either in your basket, the codes will do that for you.

And email opt-out results for when you say: “This last week in the lies and in the corruption and obstruction of justice the reality of this administration was exposed for all to see. Nothing will get better if we look the other way. From here on in there isn't anything but a downward spiral ahead with the only real question being how much more damage to America has to happen before action is taken. The reality is for the sake of our country's future, the time has come for Americans of both parties to unite in the call for the President to leave office.”

For us, so far those exiting our email list equals 0.212%, or a little bit more than 2 out of every thousand customers. And of course your results may vary. I'm sure if we hadn't been losing 2 in a thousand customers on a regular basis with emails celebrating the diversity that makes America great there would have been more customers to lose. As humans it can be all too easy to mistake loud volume, anger, and rage for quantity. But as we said right from the beginning, this administration does not have much in the way of support. Thanks for sticking with us.

And get your Embrace Hope Pin, it really is a joy to have and hold. And don't not get it because it’s free. Though the strength of Cooks is immense, it is not limitless. Sometimes we all need to be recharged by a little recognition that what we do matters. For service in kindness and caring for others through cooking, you’ve earned this bright and joyful Embrace Hope Pin. There's a midnight deadline. Don't miss out.

Thanks,

This guy is trying to make money by stoking anger. He wants buying minced garlic to be a political statement. Is embracing hate really a good business model? Demonizing others to sell a product is an ugly technique.

"[T]he time has come for Americans of both parties to unite in the call for the President to leave office."

Good grief.

Penzey is definitely appealing to a niche market. It doesn't make sense. Penzey is intentionally limiting his clientele. How much cinnamon can Maxine Waters and those of her ilk buy? Certainly not as much as Penzey could sell if he focused on cooking rather than hate-mongering.

Penzey really should not equate those remaining on his email list as an indication of support for his views or his products.

After all, I'm on it.
