Reading a bit into the article they're talking about the owner of the multinational conglomerate that owns Krispy Kreme and other known brands

JAB Holding Company

The company used to make chemicals in the mid to late 1800s

[Borealis]

Krispy Kreme makes life worth living.

[Weyu]

At least they're willing to admit it,unlike Volkswagen and Coca-Cola and hundreds of other companies.

[Anteep]

Knew it

[Liem]

Nazi ancestors is a weird way of saying grand parents

[Geel]

Who gives a shit

Anyone mad about this doesn't seem to understand that people aren't judged by the actions of others

[Amakir]

Didn't Coca-Cola have to pull out of Germany during WWII and the Germans just kept making it anyway until the ingredients ran out?

[Venomousbeetle]

thank god I can finally use nazis to get out of getting panera bread

[Psyke89]

I don't think they pulled out, might be wrong, but Fanta was created and sold during the war in Nazi Germany.

when i went to america there was a nazi that everyone in town knew, he was recognizable because he was bald, had a gigantic mustache, and rode in this old, beat up blue cadillac with most of the paint missing. mostly because he always wore a nazi hat though. and he worked at the local waffle house, so everyone called him the waffle nazi

[Shirt.]

I'm intrigued tell me more.

[Headhumpy]

is this like the american version of the town rapist

[zukriuchen]

that's pretty much it, i only knew it wasn't total bullshit because my friend brought it up when we were driving somewhere, and the waffle nazi pulled up in front of us. i only noticed the car, my friend noticed the hat and went "what the hell is he wearing- oh, it's THAT guy" and told me the story (and yes, even from behind him, you could see the mustache poking out when he turned his head a bit)

Krispy "Makes your genes supreme" Kreme

[thisguy123]

You missed an excellent opportunity to call him the "Luftwaffle"

[JennyC6]

In today's outrage culture that just isn't true anymore. IT's bullshit, but that's how it is, you can and will be vilified for the actions of an ancestor if social media is in a foul mood when the tidbit is found.
