This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I thought you meant they did it Rubbermaid once. As in Rubbermaid didn't let them do that again.
As in, "once, because it basically bankrupted Rubbermaid".
They played those games with everyone, like Clorox, book and magazine companies, General Mills, etc. But most towns have a Walmart and don't have a lot of other options, so if you want sales you play ball with the Waltons :(
From the sound of things in that documentary Rubbermaid got bent over on that deal and was almost bankrupted by it so I imagine it's been an ongoing thing.
