This company is absolutely disgusting!!! Their advertisement sent out today and using the term “Nazi” over and over again. How low can you possibly go when you try and make a buck to sell your product. Why not just say “celebrate VE Day”? I contacted Bill Penzey personally and the following is his response. “We knew this would alienate “up with Nazis” customers. We were okay with that.” Shocking that this is the statement from Mr. Bill Penzey. Regardless where you stand politically I don’t believe anyone should “throw around” the term Nazi so flippantly considering over 6 million people were exterminated by the Nazi’s. Do better Mr. Penzey!!!

This is why Michael Jordan didn’t talk about his politics. He’s probably on the left, bit he knows people on the right buy his shoes too. The point of a business is to make $$. Whether it is pro left or right, politics should never be in a business model. If you look at the totals of the reviews, it’s around 75% negative and 25% positive. Imagine how much better the company would be doing if you treated everyone with kindness and respect.

Their spices are WAY overpriced for the quality. I can get the same quality for half the price easily elsewhere. I don't understand all of the hype around these spices? The lemon peel and chives one I bought dried up immediately and were inedible. The containers are not user friendly at all.

Never mix politics with less than average spices. It will leave your wallet empty and a very bad taste in your mouth. Penzey's needs to learn to STFU or learn the legal procedures for bankruptcy.

I wanted to order some gifts but the price for one jar of spice is too high. I'll be finding another company, especially with all the online options. Like Spice Islands, available online (including Amazon)

I quit them several years ago for the simple reason that I did not want a dose of political discourse with my spice orders. Now I use The Spice House and am able to get great spices without a lecture. Really good house blends etc. Too bad for Penzy because I gave them a lot of business before Billy boy went ballistic!

They seem to be more concerned with pushing ridiculous political misinformation than selling quality spices.

When they go woke like this company did they deserve to go broke! Keep politics out of your service to the general public.
