Basij members protested in front of Nestle branch in Tehran. The text reads “Nestle Chocolate, Zionists’ Bullets”. I’m wondering if the kid hates the “bullets” that much.

I’d like a Nestle bar now.
These types of protests always make me hungry for the products they’re whining about.
Esra’a
I agree. Just imagine how tempted the poor kid would be after shouting “Nestle! Nestle!” for an hour.
I remember going to a Hezbollah protest (to take a video) and after the lady was crying and yelling “death to USA!”, she turned to her kids and said, “who wants McDonald’s?!” and all the kids were like “YAAAAY!”
I mean, if you’re really going to hate a country, can you at least feign that you’re being serious?
The whole thing’s just really ironic.
Esra’a
It is.
Some Muslims think that replacing “Starbucks Coffee” with “Starbucks Coffins” is a Zionist thing too.
One guy once told me, “one frappuccino costs 4 Palestinian lives.”
I almost want to say, “do you have change for that? I only got 5 Palestinian lives on me.”
How do they come up with this stuff?!? It’s offensive.
Esra’a
What is “Starbucks Coffins�
Instead of “Starbucks Coffee,” it’s like a silly play on words, to say that the more Starbucks you buy, the more you fund “Western and Zionist terrorists.” More dead people, more coffins, etc.
But last time I checked it wasn’t the Muslims who came up with it. We just misinterpreted the campaign and made it fit our interests.
I see.
Wow — I had no idea that either Nestle or Starbucks had anything to do with Israel’s policies. Can someone explain? (Actually, I know that neither Nestle nor Starbucks has ANYTHING to do with Israel’s policies, but I’m just wondering what the rationalization is?) Honestly, Starbucks went totally out of business in Israel and pulled out because Israelis thought their coffee sucked and I don’t think Nestle does all that well in Israel either since local chocolate is so much better and I know all the kids like uniquely Israeli chocolate bars like pesek zman etc. !!!!!
Liora,
Huh! You think you can foul us?
Huh! I meant fool.
LOL — you’re right. You caught me. Israelis just pretended to hate Starbucks coffee to try and trick everyone. Damn! Now we’re gonna have to come up with some other innocuous product to pretend to hate so we can control the world with it…. hmmmmm… how about Barbie?
Liora,
I won’t pay a penny for a Barbie, at least while I have no kid.
Hmmm.. last I heard the only problems Nestle received were from feminists, because of their “Not For Girls” brand, which, by the way, was such a genius marketing strategy that it increased their sales by at least 20%
Maybe they just don’t like how Nestle tastes, and as per usual, they blame you guys.
As for Starbucks, anything big and American is also Jewish by our definition, and thus is also categorized as “Israeli.”
Barbie… total Jew. We boycotted the entire Toys R Us brand for a while, even though we don’t have much background on it. We have replaced all the Jewish barbies with the good Muslim “fulla” dolls, which are apparently harder to undress.
NOT THAT I WOULD KNOW.
I thank you for making me laugh, I was just reading the hateful message from the Egyptian newspaper about Egyptian Bahais, found on Bilo’s web site, and so I came here.
Life goes on.
Didn’t realize Nestle and Starbucks were Jewish o.O
At the same time, I avoid Nestle products for a different reason.

So,friends,if any of you have a computer with Intel parts and u want to boycott Israel,switch off your computer right now and throw it in the dustbin
Do it right now
What are you, insane?
No one throws computers in dustbins!
How about notebooks? Do people throw them away? (just wanted to be specific)
Silly, this is why I use AMD
G. – thanks for the laugh. The boycott web site is hilarious. I especially like all of the entries for companies that are owned or run by people with obviously Jewish last names. The entry always starts with “Company CEO XXXX is a known zionist.” Let’s be honest and just say “Company CEO XXX is an obvious Jew.”
I also enjoyed the one (can’t remember which, but think it may have been Coca Cola) that has a facility in the Golan Heights, which the writers claim is Palestinian land… I think Assad would beg to differ!
& why not boycott uran enrichment & the developing of nuclear weapons? – wasn’t Einstein, who had slightly Zionist tendencies involved in creating the A-bomb? – So there’s no need in sanctions from the West to Iran anymore – if goods imagined to be related to Israel will be boycotted anyway. – Why build a wall to the neighbour, if the neighbour builds the wall himself?
(By the way I just wikipediad ‘Nestlé’: – Nestlé’s mother house is still situated in Switzerland & it was once founded by Henry Nestle of German origin.)
Ah my Nescafe is empty & if tomorrow I buy a new package I’ll appreciate it even more than before with the knowledge that it’s a boycotted product..
What does enrichment of Uranium or a-bomb and Einstein have to do with one another?
Of course they have not that much to do with one another – but isn’t just this slight association to build a connection like from Nestle to Zionsims?
thanks everybody for making me laugh and smile and feel good for a few minutes as I really liked and appreciated the humor and kidding here….
if only your parents would tune in and smile a little
