Blue bell knowingly sold tainted ice cream that killed people. People went absolutely nuts when it came back to grocery stores. I ruled them out for life. The general public just doesn't seem to care about anything unless it directly appeals to them. Not in my back yard syndrome on a global scale.

I never heard of that, but it reminds me that when I moved to Minnesota in the late 90's the phrase "salmonella vanilla" was associated with Schwann's Ice Cream. Try finding anyone these days who even thinks of that. I see Schwann's making home delivery of their frozen grocery products all over the place (mmm, cheesy tater tots!). They seem to be even more popular now.

People have short memories for this stuff.
