14 More Advertisers Dump The Duggars And Refuse To Run Ads On 19 Kids and Counting [View all]

The advertiser backlash against the Josh Duggar molestation scandal is growing into a tidal wave as 14 more companies have publicly refused to run ads on 19 Kids and Counting.

Party City
Pure Leaf Iced Tea
Kings’s Hawaiian
Allstate Insurance
Sherwin-Williams
Jimmy Dean Sausage
HauteLook
Ricola

A second group of advertising took the same path as Keurig and promised not to advertise on the show both now and in the future.
CVS
H&R Block
Ace Hardware
Behr Paint
ConAgra Foods
General Mills
Payless ShoeSource
Choice Hotel

The list of corporate advertisers who have not promised to pull their ads is shrinking fast, but corporate giants like McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Macy’s, GEICO, State Farm Insurance, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, Oscar Mayer, Arm & Hammer, Crayola, and Discover still have not done the right thing.

It boggles the mind that companies like McDonalds and Crayola, who make a lot of money off of children are willing to continue associating themselves with the Touching Little Children Network.
