I often think of this and how Food Lion fought back against the journalist who broke the story. Food Lion kept repeating "But he lied to get his job at Food Lion."

I'm amazed how many people I heard parroting that spin and completely believing that it forgave Food Lion for selling expired meat

And I had never heard of Food Lion and thought that was an odd name for a grocery store. I found out it was connected to Hannaford, which was upsetting because that's where we shopped!

The Food Lion name comes from their Belgian owner Delhaize, which uses the same lion logo so they choose a name with lion in it. The bleach was an idiotic attempt to hide the smell of rotten meat.
