Skittles maker Wrigley offers up best reply to Donald Trump Jr.’s refugee tweet

Published: Sept 20, 2016 9:27 a.m. ET

But perhaps the best response came from Skittles maker Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co., which carefully removed itself from the political brouhaha: “Skittles are candy. Refugees are people. We don’t feel it’s an appropriate analogy. We will respectively refrain from further commentary, as anything we say could be misinterpreted as marketing,” Chicago-based Wrigley Americas said in a statement provided by Denise Young, vice president of corporate affairs.

as a cub fan this makes me want to puke.

I quit liking many teams because of their ownership

I know the son is in charge, but where do you think he got all his cake?

same as the Doncon.

bleaahhhh

watching them now, inching ever closer to the homefield all the way through the playoffs, if they get that far......a HUNDRED EiGHT years!!!!!!!!!

12. CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! magic number down to:

THREE; homefield all the way through playoffs

all they have to do is win one more, Nationals lose two, or reverse that

no way that isn't going to happen in the next few days

this is taking some of the nausea away from the way things seem to be going on the political scene these days......
