Those brats that come with the cheese already inside them are a complete racket because if you cook them properly you cook the cheese right out and then where are you? Sans cheese is where. Dispossessed of the "added value" cheese you purchased. Having been, as the venerable brat ancients used to say, uncheesed.
Your brilliant cheese-impregnated brat idea targeting consumers too fucking lazy to put cheese on a thing has written a check your brats can't cash.

Oh man, this touches on an important funfact that not everyone might know:
#Johnsonville, the meat company based in Johnsonville, WI, and famous for their voluminous bratwurst and bratwurst-adjacent products, bankrolls Wisconsin fascists, the ones that gerrymandered the shit out of the state and think laws and basic common decency should not apply to them. Johnsonville is white-dogshit-grade awful people and you shouldn't buy their products. Look for Klements or Usingers, both MKE-based and profoundly less shitty companies, cuz you'd almost HAVE to be haha.

I guess that fact isn't THAT fun but y'know, share around to your friends who might be in the brat market but would prefer not to purchase Nazi sausage!

This is a good question and may be something we can start, like basically the stridently, unabashedly pro-fascist companies. Another reply already mentioned the Martin potato bread bakery went whole hog for neo-Nazi gubernatorial candidate and Jan 6 coup participant Doug Mastriano in PA.

Blue Bunny, the Iowa-based ice cream brand, bankrolled Iowa's not-even-vaguely-herrenvolk-and-ethnic-cleansing-giddy congressman Steve King for years and still funds the dogshit Trumpistas if the Iowa GOP currently making that state an austerity-gutted hate factory.

Hy-vee, the Iowa-based supermarket chain, is also sponsoring ^that programmatic fuckery and ALSO sent out a company-wide email in 2020 bullying its workers to vote for Trump, a man who, some might recall, later attempted a fascist coup.

Probably a ton more so we can add to this as they pop to mind. Let me know if you've got any.

@GrimmReality
I will second Usingers, who provides some excellent product.
@GrimmReality
Stopped buying Johnsonville circa Scotty Boy, whom they heartily supported. Klements also has a better flavor.
@GrimmReality

Well damn it!!! I didn't know. I especially loved their bags of frozen meatballs, and was annoyed when my local stopped carrying them. I'll stop being annoyed. Thank you.
@GrimmReality So what about these then
@GrimmReality That's disappointing, but we found better brands anyway.

@GrimmReality another option for great brats: your local #FarmersMarket

For those near the Twin Cities Metro in Minnesota, I recommend Foragescape Farms for meats - and they deliver, too!

Livestock no matter how they're raised is very hard on the planet.
Slaughter is no way to make a living.
@GrimmReality dammit dammit dammit DAMN IT. I loved those sausages. Looks like I'm getting off them cold turkey.
@GrimmReality between them and ULINE....what is happening in WI?
@GrimmReality Anyone keeping a trustworthy list of Nazi companies so we can avoid them more efficiently? This is probably hard, because it will get subjective, and a lot of corporations do nasty things. But we can at least avoid the big ones. But who wants to spend their free time calling this to mind? I’d rather just check the list. And hope there are no griefers trolling it.
@obviousdwest @GrimmReality I changed cell plans from AT&T to T-Mobile because of its funding of insurrectionists. https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/news/how-come-att-just-gave-money-to-radical-right-wing-insurrectionists/
How come AT&T just gave money to radical right-wing insurrectionists?

Greenpeace USA is calling on AT&T to stop giving money to radical right-wing insurrectionists and instead publicly support the freedom to vote for all Americans and the integrity of election results.
