I figured they would change their minds following the Stim Pack. I can't help but think this may have been done out of spite. Isn't Mexico a tax haven country?

2. This country needs to impose high import taxes to these companies.
It would be nice if an American company could take over it's old factory in Hershey. They could make a similar product and call it Liberty Peppermint or something similar. Americans need to get serious about where our products come from.

3. Mexico also has the IMSS for their workers
and it is dirt cheap compared to insurance costs here.
