1. I'm there!

I'd bet good money that those EXECUTIVE hypocrites at Kelloggs also "smoked a little dope" back in their teens and early twenties.

Self-righteous hypocrites! :puke:

[Horse with no Name]

4. I know whoever invented the Keebler elves was high

they just need to embrace it.

[barbtries]

32. oh! now i get it

it's because of the swimmer who smokes dope. sorry.

[Horse with no Name]

2. I would think Kelloggs and their line of SNACKS would be grateful to Phelps

I mean, seriously.
But yeah, throw me in the boycott and I will write letters too.

[defendandprotect]

3. If that isn't "MONOPOLY" . . . what is???

[tridim]

5. I'll miss my Club Crackers.

Fuck off Kelloggs.

[Captain Hilts]

6. His contract was set to expire and they weren't going to renew it anyway. nt

[boobooday]

7. I'm going on an all Captain Crunch diet

It's my way of protesting. Count Chocula for dessert.

And, by the way, "Kellogg's™ Live Bright™ Brain Health Bars"?????

:wtf:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. Thanks for the list.

Here's hoping the economy puts a lot of extra pressure on them.

[ShortnFiery]

10. I was very impressed by Phelps.

As a young man of 23 y.o. he was very mature and contrite without grovel. A class act.

Michael Phelps is more of "a likable person" to me now that I know he's human, vice amphibian. :silly: :-)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

11. I'd be more impressed if he told that S.C. sheriff to go fuck himself.

[KamaAina]

9. Aaauuuggghhhh! Phelps' native Bawlmer faces quite a dilemma...

Hydrox® Cookies are a perennial favorite there, if almost nowhere else. Pressure from distraught Baltimoreans probably led Kellogg's to acquire the brand from the defunct Sunshine Baking Co.

What to do, what to do?

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. Why? What did they do?

Sheesh I hate OPs like this.

[EFerrari]

13. They dropped the pot smoking swimmer.

Whose name I can't remember.

[ShortnFiery]

16. Michael Phelps, a very thoughtful young man of 23 y.o. - I like him.

;)

[EFerrari]

18. Thank you, ShortnFiery. I like him, too!

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. Cause it's so important, right?

I can sure think of A LOT of things I am more outraged about.

But maybe that's just me. LOL

Okay so off I trot to the market to buy some Kelloggs products :)

[G_j]

29. the bigger picture

are you aware of how many lives have been ruined by imprisoning people for pot, and how many years this has gone on?
It's not this celebrity, but the larger issue being addressed, at least for me.

[shadowknows69]

14. If every pot smoker in America boycotted Kellog's munchy foods

They'd be in chapter 11 inside of a month. It's all generic frosted flakes for my pig outs from now on.

[rvablue]

15. HEY!: I HATE pot and I LOVE cereal !!!!

and even I'm all for this.

I don't like pot. Never have. But it is so stupid for it to be illegal and all of the reason given for it being so are bunk! It is illegal, because you can literally grow it in a flower pot on your window sill. So, the drug companies can't figure out how to profit from it. If they could, it would be legal tomorrow.

Michael Phelps did something extroidinary for this country this summer. He swam his heart out not just for himself or his team, but for his country. And lord only knows, after the last 8 years, the country and the world needed a feel good moment courtesy of the USA.

Our last three Presidents have admitted to smoking marijuana. So, what's the big deal?

I think Michael was stupid, only in that he did this in front of virtual strangers and shouldn't have trusted them.

But the picture is out there. And frankly, if we do boycott Kellogg's and they lose sales over firing Michael Phelps, it could end up being the first, real, concrete step to legalizing it.

So, despite the fact that I like my cereal and cookies....AND I DETEST POT....I will sign up for the boycott and make my calls!

[ShortnFiery]

19. I hate POT too. My drug of choice is caffeine.

[Blue_In_AK]

17. Easy for me.

I don't eat any of that stuff anyway. :)

[chelsea0011]

20. A sugar encrusted product that is sold to children with cartoon characters

as their products images thought Phelps wasn't up to the Kellogg image. LOL

He should have snorted some sugar

[Riley18]

21. I like Michael more now because of the mature way he handled the media.

Just hope Kellogg's notices people are not buying their products anymore. I didn't realize they sold Kashi cereal.

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. I hope you all have called your senators about the Stimulus Bill too

That's really a bit more important than this Michael Phelps deal. :)

[FarLeftRage]

24. I'm already doing that...

they put that genetically modified high fructose corn syrup in everything they make...

[aikoaiko]

25. Nope. I like my cereal, thank you. Why are people boycotting Kellog

[TroglodyteScholar]

26. Damnit...

I would LOVE to boycott Kelloggs, but judging by that list, I already am.

[eShirl]

27. Kellogg's bought out Sunshine Bakery? :(

That's depressing. My grandpa used to be a salesman for Sunshine.

[G_j]

28. ---

[Beacool]

30. Sorry, but Phelps should have known better.

He shouldn't have allowed anyone to photograph him taking a bong hit. Image is everything to a corporation and they have a right to fire Phelps.

:shrug:

[4lbs]

34. So, far Kelloggs is the only one dropping him. Well, at least the only one that's been made known.

He still has his sports-related endorsements.

Looks like Kellogg's is the one getting more backlash than Phelps in the public eye.

[Romulox]

36. Image cuts more than one way. They won points with "compassionate conservatives", but lost me...

I guess it's worth it. But just like Phelp's actions have consequences, so do Kellogg's.

[foxfeet]

37. In a world full of cellphone cameras

it's a bit disingenuous to suggest Phelps necessarily "allowed" the photo to be taken. IMHO, somebody saw an opportunity to make a buck by selling the photo to the tabloids. For me this falls into the same category as naive kids posting highly personal info and images on Facebook or Myspace. One never know what will be done with that stuff. Phelps may have been naive or "stupid" in that way, but I'm willing to cut him some slack. For the record, I don't use pot, but I don't mind those who do. It's much less destructive than alcohol, a legal substance, and prosecuting people for using pot is a truly stupid waste of resources.

[JonLP24]

42. I believe this is the most well reasoned post

It was something I was trying to say further down the thread but you captured all my points and more in a straight to the point and simple. I don't quite believe he falls in the myspace category because he wasn't the one who posted the photo. I can't imagine Michael Phelps saying, here "take my photo". It certainly was sneaky, however if he did in fact purposely pose then he is a dumb, stupid, or whatever people in the MSM has been saying about him.

[DesertRat]

41. Why was he smoking pot with people he couldn't trust?

Phelps should have known better and been more discreet. I think that pot should be legalized, but that's a separate issue.
Kellogg's has every right to fire him.

[barbtries]

31. tell me why

i'm sorry but i work all week and i don't know what they did wrong...

[4lbs]

33. The great thing is that I've already been "boycotting" Kellogg's since I've eaten none of those

listed products in the last two years.

:D

The closest was Raisin Bran, but I've long substituted my breakfast cereal with Cheerios (made by General Mills) and Honey Bunches of Oats (made by Post).

[Romulox]

35. They were quick to drop Phelps. When will they drop the supplier of Salmonella laced peanut paste?

I was already boycotting Kelloggs. Because of the Salmonella.

[Dervill Crow]

38. It will hurt to give up my Morningstar Farms, but I can do it.

I'm a bit of a puritan myself, but if Michael Phelps is a pot smoker it refutes my perception that pot smokers tend to be losers. I may have to rethink my position on marijuana.

[Vinca]

39. Why? Kellogg's paid for a squeaky clean role model and didn't get it.

I don't care what Phelps does, but if Kellogg's is paying a million bucks for a certain image he's supposed to represent, they ought to get that image. (That said, most of their stuff is crap I wouldn't eat anyway.)

[renate]

53. I agree.

I'm not a prude when it comes to victimless "crimes" like marijuana use, but they paid him for his clean-cut image and he failed to deliver.

With as many kids' cereals as Kellogg's makes, they didn't really have a choice.

[JonLP24]

40. My opinion the real crime is the guy who took the photo

I bet money the guy with the photo smoked as well. If he was trying to be the good guy he wouldn't of held on to the photo as long, it's been reported photo was taken in November and when he does he releases it to a tabloid paper and it's no secret they pay their sources and I bet he is a wealthy for the time being.

[U4ikLefty]

43. WTF?!? Half the stuff they sell is "stoner food".

Without potheads getting the munchies, Kellogg would lose a lot of sales.

[Left coast liberal]

44. I already do. Talk about shit food. Corn syrup anyone?

[Royal Sloan 09]

45. Why condemn Phelps when we ought to condemn the laws that brand him a criminal

Simple:LEGALIZE

[Lucian]

46. I don't buy their shit anyways.

[diamidue]

47. Doesn't Kellogg realize that there are millions

of us baby boomers who have at least once in our life smoked marijuana? If Phelps is "tainted" by his smoking, then I guess that millions of us baby boomers are also presumed to be tainted in the eyes of Kellogg. Way to alienate an entire generation.

I'll have no trouble boycotting this company. But then, I don't eat their stuff anyway.

[knitter4democracy]

55. They sell to kids, though.

Sure, it's the parents and grandparents who buy the stuff, but they focus their marketing on kids.

Then there's the whole history of the company--moral cleanliness, etc., left over from the first Kelloggs and the Sanitarium. They're staying true to their image, and considering the local paper just did a huge expose on the drug problem in Battle Creek, I'd bet that the decision was made with an eye toward local issues as well.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

48. After a breakfast of FrootLoops & PopTarts, this little guy at our school

was acting like he was hopped up on goof balls. He is a special needs child with impulsivity problems and the massive amount of sugar and additives made his behavior uncontrollable.

My first thought re: Kellogg's - What a bunch of hypocrites - don't want to do business with hypocrites.

[martymar64]

49. Consider them boycotted!

Fuck those anti-weed dickheads.

[fortyfeetunder]

50. I don't eat that stuff anyway (HFCS)

Many of their products have HFCS...so you don't have to boycott on account of Michael Phelps!

[omega minimo]

52. seconded

[old mark]

51. Already do. i use Malto-Meal dry cereal, and don't buy cookies,

Kellogs is way too expensive and not as good as the competition.
They developed dry breakfast cereals to make a lot of money using grain byproducts that were used for animal feed.

mark

[knitter4democracy]

54. Please don't. They keep our town going.

Battle Creek's staying financially afloat only because of Kellogg's, thanks. If you're mad about something they've done, write letters to them and your paper, but some of us need them to stay solvent.
