I read that Mt. Olive Pickle Company dropped their sponsorship a week ago, as soon as the Confederate flag debacle happened.

But the news media keeps reporting it, day after day. It's been a week of this story. I'm here for it.

I'm familiar with this company. They rely on migrant labor, whom they abuse. And their products aren't good. (But I'm probably biased because I grew up in Ohio. Proper pickles are not sweet or mild. Proper pickles have a garlicky bite.)
