Why do people still eat up his PR angles? The whole business is a marketing lie to make you think you’re buying from a forward thinking business.
Greenwashed capitalism, it’s a thing. |  |

No need to get patronising footers. You asked how it's excellent PR and I've explained it. |
" I've explained it." Cos that's not at all patronising!
I'd say it's more important how PR is viewed from the outside, (i.e. the punter's view), rather than from the inside, as surely that's the whole point of PR. So it doesn't matter what anyone who works in the field thinks if it's not appeasing the public.
Although it will work on site there of course, because the customers clearly don't care enough to boycott the place. Maybe as word spreads about double standards there will need to be some rethinking though.
I'm not a fan of the OP's sensationalist style but it's not unreasonable to expect a firm to back up its own moral code.
We all know what Trump stands for and I wouldn't knowingly supply any of his outlets with so much as a packet of crisps.

For US "crisps" Lays Jalapeno Ranch crisps are very wrong but also very right.

Dill pickle flavour. Inject it into my veins.
Ranch is a king sauce the UK really needs to wake up to. And Root Beer. | |

Top top - some Bisto granules and Colemans in baked beans and you can have that flavour for beans on toast.

There's no fun in American crisps. No Space Raiders, no Monster Munch, No Salt 'n' Shake (the Ms really couldn't get her head around that one - "you add your own salt?!"
In general, stick to your kettle chip offerings over here and you're on solid ground. Decent range of flavours, quality the same as back home.
Lays = Walkers. Same logo just a different brand name. You can get most of the core range but you need to swap out Prawn Cocktail, Smokey Bacon and Cheese and Onion for Dill Pickle, Honey BBQ and Sour Cream and Onion. These are the same crisps as what Gary Linekar would recognise, but some of the flavours would blow his mind.
From there things get wild. Doritos - Cool Original in the UK is actually called Cool Ranch here (Ranch dressing is its own food group to Americans). Where things get really wild is in the 'puffed corn' categories. Neon orange offerings that will stain everything in a five mile radius. Wotsits on steroids. | |

Ranch dressing is the whitest white person condiment ever invented, and I'm including mayonnaise in that. |  |

Can't do baked beans over here. Same as with bread, they're waaaaay too sweet for my taste, and I'm not paying four quid for a tin of imported Irish Heinz when I stumble across them. Fooking corn syrup in everything.
I make all my own bread these days, I'm not going to be making my own beans too! | |

My sweet summer child. You think I can walk into an American supermarket and simply buy something as 'fancy' as lardons?
We need to get you out here to see for yourself. Every day is like Ready Steady Cook in my house. I go to the shop and come home to figure out how to combine a jalapeno, cheese in a can, pork rinds, Lucky Charms and 6 gallons of Gatorade in order to make an actual edible meal.

Ranch dressing itself is actually grim but for some reason I do like those crisps.
Perhaps it's the novelty factor.

I've been too harsh on American food to be fair. Admittedly, your average supermarket offering is far below the standard I experienced in the UK. They don't have the variety either. Certainly in New York, you can get sixteen types of chicken breast in your supermarket, but it's unusual to see duck breast or lamb shank etc.
If you can access fresh, local food however, then it's great. Really good seafood, fresh vegetables, fruits. But you have to get them fresh and local, and they cost far more than a lot of people can afford.
Regional specialties are great. You won't find better eating than steamed Alaskan King crab fresh off the boat, genuine authentic BBQ (personally I enjoy the vinegar tang of the Carolina style). Diner pancakes, bottomless coffee. Bourbon, maple syrup. Louisiana offerings can be really interesting. Even those grotesque, fatty, sloppy, dripping roadside fast food heart attack menu items can be amazing and awful all at once.
You just have to avoid the chains stores and Walmarts. that's where America's bad food reputation comes from. There's great food here. You just have to travel for it and be able to afford it. | |

Am partial to a clam chowder down on the Connecticut coast. There is a lovely place in Stonington with views out over the water and nice beer. As you say there is plenty of excellent food in the US if you can pay for it.
I remember going into a place in Rhode Island that was actually decent and well stocked but the price was far in excess of somewhere like Walmart.

I've really missed travelling within the US this year. There's always something great to eat and drink.
Where we live we have the choice of a local large Co-op style supermarket which is generally pretty crap, or a bit further afield I can go to a Whole Foods. That's twice the price, twice as crowded but does have a far better range of offerings.
Our neighbourhood is stuffed with smaller shops where you can buy any Mexican ingredient you can think if, but we are lacking in butchers, fish mongers, etc. Understandably, as White British blokes aren't the main ethnicity living around here, things aren't set up to cater for my tastes. Still, once a month when I want to make tacos I'm in luck. | |
