    Omg I would have absolutely no script for that. They would get the blankest expression and something snarky like “it was impressive how Nestle was able to get market share on water and baby formula in the African market” but knowing my luck I’d probably get unironicly hired with that line when I was trying to be sarcastic. 😭

        Robert hasn’t really done a complete deep dive into Nestles horribleness, but he does have an episode for this atrocity.

      “Chiquita Bananas’ ability to manipulate the government to further their own ends is admirable.”
