After declaring “an open mind” when it came to the use of the word “Christmas” in their advertising, Wal Mart caved and splashed “Christmas” liberally.

its still amazing to me that when they say "we dont want to offend anyone" it never occurs to them they're offending us

[Jeff Westover]

I know that Mrs. Fields doesn't actually have anything to do with Mrs. Fields anymore (and her name isn't even Mrs. Fields any more) but personally I found her very...annoying. Years ago she had a restaurant in Park City and it seemed that every time I went there she DRILLED me on what I thought of the salad dressing. Three different times she did this to me (my cousin worked for her) and I finally ended up telling her that I could enjoy the salad a whole lot better if I didn't have to talk about it.

I posted about this on another board, and since this article ran they have now added "Christmas" to their website... it wasnt there on Friday, but it is now.

Yes, they caved pretty quick! Good job, Jana!!!

[Billy Battles]

I don't see how they would offend anybody.

[Jeff Westover]

YOU might not have been offended. But I guarantee you somebody's going to be offended somewhere. Some people just look upon it as their right.

Well, I'm at the MrsFields.com site now. I typed in the word Christmas in their search box, I got 4 results promoting Christmas products (2 of which are Christmas cookie cakes).

[Jeff Westover]

Yeah, they changed it suddenly after the AFA had kittens over not seeing the word "Christmas".

[JanaBanana]

Yes, they caved pretty quick! Good job, Jana!!!

Personally, We get free Mrs. Field's cookies with our office supply orders from Quill (I think) -- I'm not all that impressed... and the cookies are often stale when we get them.

Home made is the way to go

And so is chocolate chip. Remember, people, Santa really does hate macaroons:

Do you get paid every time you mention that?
