It seems I wasn’t the only consumer a bit peeved with Battle Creek’s Kellogg for its handling of Michael Phelps and the bong.
“When Kellogg announced it would not renew its endorsement contract with Olympic medalist Michael Phelps after a photo of the athlete smoking pot surfaced, it may have cost the food company its sterling reputation, reports company reputation index Vanno. Out of the 5,600 company reputations Vanno monitors, Kellogg ranked ninth before it booted Phelps. Now it’s ranked 83. Not even an industry-wide peanut scare inflicted as much damage on the food company’s reputation,” reports the businessinsider.com. (Hat tip to andrewsullivan.com for highlighting the report.)
Could a rational consensus be emerging in a grass-roots America bombarded for decades with ridiculous “War on Drugs” propaganda?
