Frito Lay announced the launch of limited-edition Doritos gay ‘Rainbows’ bags to support LGBT causes.
Twitter.com users vowed to boycott Doritos after the new gay rainbows LGBT campaign was announced today.
Particularly disappointing to Doritos customers was Doritos association with virulently hostile gay agitator Dan Savage, who is known for bullying Christian children.
The gay rainbow bags will not be available in stores. Instead, Doritos will ship the bags to anyone who donates $10 or more to Doritos to support gay causes. Proceeds from sales of the gay rainbow bags will benefit the “It Gets Better Project,” which was founded by bigot Dan Savage.
Twitchy.com writes:
“What a good deal for Doritos. They get tons of free advertising disguised as activism and they don’t even have to ship the chips to stores.”
@Doritos: I'm Never Eat Doritos Again.

@Doritos so bold, selling online but not in stores. How about I just stop buying Doritos alltogether?

@rjmedwed @18girlfriends It Gets Better founder Dan Savage = anti-bullying for gay kids, PRO-bullying for Christian kids. Bad choice.

@Doritos So long, #Doritos. It was nice knowing you.
Great idea, @fritolay. #LGBT is < 2% of population. Definitely worth the pandering.

@Doritos As a Corporation or CEO of a company you never involve and promote political views. You alienate your brand from the consumer.

@Doritos Dan Savage is a VERY hateful person. Do your research.

@Doritos @twitchyteam Won't be buying anymore Doritos. I won't give 1 dime to a company that celebrates perversion.

@Doritos Oh FFS. I will never eat Doritos again. #JumpedTheShark

@Doritos There is no reason for snack foods to identify with sexual fetishes. 95%+ of US is straight. Why pander to <5% of us?

@Doritos You support Dan Savage and his asshole bullying tactics? #missedthemark #donewithyou

@Doritos Done with all @Fritolay products. Savage is a vile excuse for a human being and I will not support a company that supports him.

@Doritos isn't the LGBT flag *six* colors? Does the 7th on yours represent pedophiles? #AllLoveWins #PanderWeMuch @TwitchyTeam

@Doritos So sad that you've decided the conservative Christian segment of your market is unimportant.

@Doritos dammit! I liked doritos too. Sucks that I have to stop buying now. Just sell chips. Is that too hard? Stupid #SJW

@Doritos Definitely not eating #DoritosRainbows only because I've never seen multi-colored potatoes in nature…
