Does anyone else avoid "Bush's Beans" in the store aisle?
I loves me some legumes, but I won't buy the Bush's brand. I have absolutely no idea if the people who started that company are even remotely related to the Bush Crime Family, but even seeing the word "Bush" makes me want to hurl and I won't buy their damn beans!

1. Nope. He don't own that name, and he ain't gonna ruin it for me.
That's why I prefer "Blivet" or "Pretzeldent/Chimp in Chief" instead. :hi:

6. I buy them. The name bugs me now as it never did before, but
I've been eating Bush's Baked Beans since long before I became aware of the BFEE.

However, I am SICK TO DEATH of the commercials! Duke has been trying to sell that recipe out from under Jay for YEARS, and it's time to come up with a new schtick!

I did like Cousin Drew making the family chili recipe in his jammie pants, though. :D

9. Everytime I see the "name" I retch inwardly. But........
I buy the beans and especially like their Chili Magic chili starter. We hadd lots of neat stuff to it and it produces a tasty meal. I overlook the name.

15. I avoid his "Boston Baked Beans"
I bought his fucking Boston Baked Beans once. Once.

Let's just say I now know how they make the chemical they use to make propane smell bad...

Bush's chili is outstanding. The farts you will generate after eating Bush's Boston Baked Beans are also outstanding but in a different way.

17. Hate the name...
...Still buy them. Funny thing, but after the last BBB commercial (see! I hate to even type the words) I turned to my husband and said, 'that guy ought to end his commercials by saying, hey! no relation!' kinda like Buster and Babs Bunny on Tiny Toons. :rofl:

19. Been eatin' 'em since before * was *
Ain't gonna stop now. There's two cans in the kitchen as I type — Boston style and Barbecue. :9

I always tell people, "That's the only Bush I allow in my house."



Hmmm... no wonder I ain't gettin' any.
