Support my friend, Michelle, in her Komen Race! She's such an awesome chick.
Ok. So I will post your link to your "pink" if you like. Send it to me via email! I'd rather people donate directly to fund breast cancer research vs. buying some stupid yogurt (besides, organic yogurt is soooo much better!) Those commercials licking the lids gross me out. I'm glad my job isn't to collect them. I would have a panic attack thinking about all that saliva. At least this year they are donating over a million. Keep talking so that these vendors get the idea that they can't exploit our fear as women of getting breast cancer. If they get the good press, they should be required to donate much more than a small percentage!!!
There are way too many things frustrating me today. I am missing my sisters. And my mom.
That is all.
Posted by debutaunt at September 11, 2007 11:07 AMThe even worse part of that Yoplait scam is that they donate 10 cents UP TO $1.5 million. Being a 1.8 million-dollar-girl, you can see exactly how far *that's* gonna go, right? Call me cynical, but I'm sure it's just a tax write-off combined with a publicity stunt. Why should we have to send in the lids? It's a gimmick! How about if they donate the money based upon their gross sales and let us skip the hamster-wheel chore of collecting those lids and sending them in? They're not serious about making a difference. They're not serious about research. They're serious about giving people busy work so everyone who eats yogurt will choose Yoplait so she can think she does something to impact breast cancer awareness. Instead, she's just buying yogurt and wasting stamps on a symbolic collection of aluminum sealants. Pink Lid Nation program sucks. Keep going, Debu! You can do this! :)
