I think Bernie is the only one willing to hold out.
I dont live in PA, but I donated to his campaign, and he's such a disappointment.
I heard that too and that it screwed up cake decorators who use their mix. It's really frustrating because these companies have record profit margins, and they're price gouging at this point.
