As Twitchy reported on Wednesday in an urgent post, Sen. Elizabeth Warren expressed her concern over the proposed merger of McCormick and Unilever, warning consumers that their grocery prices could go up if the same company owned both Hellman's Mayonnaise and Frank's RedHot.
Hellmann's mayo McCormick spices Cholula hot sauce Frank's RedHot What do these products have in common? One company could soon control them all. I have concerns that McCormick and Unilever's $45 billion merger could increase YOUR grocery prices.

Consumers spoke up, telling Warren to butt out and not pull another Spirit Airlines debacle.
Also speaking up was Frank McCormick, grandson of the founder of McCormick Spices (not really, we don't think), who let Fauxahontas have it.
@SenWarren My grandfather built McCormick Spices from nothing after your ancestors tomahawked his wife and kids. I'll be damned if you take another scalp from my family fortune!

Warren felt that in her high cheekbones.

@CBHeresy @hoopes_leah @SenWarren I knew there was a reason my family only buys McCormick spices. It’s been answered.

McCormick says in his X bio that he's an occasionally funny former inner-city public school teacher, and this was one of those occasions. Nancy Pelosi would have bought stock in McCormick if she had known this post was coming.
