"Processed Sugar" that actually comes from corn or beets, is extracted with none of the healthy mineral content of the sugar cane, and then packed in a container with textured soy bean oil and labeled as "Food" is not.

These mega corps hired way too many woke kids fresh out of college. These woke graduates have been taught to use their companies to promote things like this.
Theyve been taught the exact wrong ideas. You promote your company's products and avoid hot button topics that could offend potential customers.
Can't even enjoy a fucking cookie without some commie ruining it with SJW bullshit. One good thing is I see coming from this is huge business opportunities for Patriotic non woke entrepreneurs.
I still read it as slimy behavior, and not just a pronoun choice. Can't help it, that was called the pronoun game and that was how a teenager tried to imply her plans didn't involve a boy and was maybe with a group of people. "Oh I'm just heading to the mall with a friend. They have a car, and we'll drive us to a movie after."
They is technically correct grammar. The problem is it only works when you don't know the sex of the person you are talking about. Using it when you damn well do know is just disingenuous.
For example, the other day one of my coworkers made a reference to the Powerpuff Girl enemy "Him" (a cross dressing devil, basically playing off Tim Curry). This coworker called "Him" a "they", even though his name is "Him" and every episode he is in, he's referred to as "he". It's just basic virtue signaling at that point.
They/them is plural and this is grammatically incorrect when the subject is singular. "Meet my friend." Friend is singular. He/she. Not they. If the sentence was meet my "friends" then there is nothing to virtue signal about and no point of this retarded tweet because they/them pronouns are already correctly used.
"Someone today will win the grand prize drawing. They will be winning $5,000. They will also be entered in to win a new car which they can drive home themselves."
When you know nothing about the subject, it's gratically correct in the right setting. It's just awkward sounding.
But that's not even the context being used here to make that argument. James woods is right. You're introducing someone, it's not grammatically correct to use a plural pronoun just because your friend has body dysmorphia. It is just SJW personalizing grammar and syntax to force their ideology on to others. We know the subject is singular. You and your can be singular or collective but even in your example, saying they is lazy when you really should be saying "he or she will be entered to win". Since someone is always singular.
I'm not entirely disagreeing. I didn't say the example makes any sense. They (the singular person who wrote the Oreo tweet) wrote a completely stupid tweet. Someone introducing their (singular "they") friend, who they know shouldn't have to rely on ambiguous neutral pronouns. But what I'm trying to say is these plural sounding pronouns can be validly used in singular form in the right circumstance (that tweet not being one of them). I've done it twice now. It's incorrect to say "They/them" is plural and is grammatically incorrect when the subject is singular. It absolutely can be correct when it's singular in the right context. English is a weird language.
we're basically talking in circles in agreement since you said this tweet is disingenuous. I just hate how these idiots who think they're so smart demand that you butcher English language to suit their agenda. Magic the gathering cards for over 20 years would refer to other players as "his or her" and I think they finally changed the syntax to "their" because it saves text space. But his or her was always correct usage, even if it was wordy-ier to read.
If you know the subject is singular or plural and you use matching pronouns, you don't have to worry about using wrong grammar. If you mismatch them then you you run the risk of being grammatically wrong, so why not just use matching pronouns. Pronouns are not supposed to have personal preferences. It's locked language. Personalizing pronouns like these woke idiots want defeats the whole point of pronouns in the first place.
I agree that it's obnoxious how they are intentionally butchering the language to make their dumbass points.
I honestly wish we as a society could have just landed on a simple solution like s/he or something. All this non-binary stuff is total crap. There's 2 genders/sexes (and yes, gender and sex are the same despite what gender studies frauds say).
People may tend to act more more like one or the other, but at the end of the day it's just 2, with a very insignificantly small handful of people who didn't come out fully cooked in between. The rest of it (being queer, genderfluid, etc.) is just obnoxious personality quirks that, surprise, everyone has. A man to woman trans person isn't really a woman. He's (typically) a gay man that likes to look like a woman. That's all it is. To make it more complex is just infuriating.
It's incorrect grammar to say "someone" followed by "they". This was drilled into me a little over a decade ago in english class. You need to say "this person", "he", or "she".
I don't NEED your cookies but those idiot children in your marketing department forgot they are supposed to make me WANT to buy them. Any company that virtue signals like this is off my shopping list forever. Haven't bought a Gillette since they went all SJW dumb either.

Sugar is fine, God made the perfect plant for it.

After the nuclear holocaust when all your apples and carrots are gone, I will survive with my basement full of twinkies and oatmeal cream pies.
Oreos are the knockoff! Hydrox are the originals!
Funny story, Hydrox was the original sandwich cookie and Oreos were the knockoff. But people assumed the opposite.
True. It's unfortunate that Hydrox is such a terrible name. It honestly sounds like a cleaning product.
Do they have Chlorquine flavor?

Besides, off brand Oreos taste better.
AWWWWE god dang it! There goes my fave cookie. No more Oreos for this guy.
Generics are just as good.

Oreo's suck, they get all stuck in your teeth, and just a few turn your 💩 jet black
I miss Hydrox!
Oreos are amazing but they are fattening and addicting.
Oreo did an ad advocating lesbianism recently. Totally degenerate corp. Fuck em.
what did the tweet say?
(its been scrubbed from the internet)
It was Oreos telling people to use "they" "them" "their" to refer to individual people.
Thanks for the info!
Oreo, the only cookie that is also a racial slur used against Black people, is now the ones trying to "educate" us on tolerance?
LOL
No thanks.
When I have a question about trangenderism I dont think "Oh, i wonder what the cookie company wants me to say on that?"
They are fattening AF anyway. Get fit and drop this garbage, thank me later.
