Three of my four grandparents died from cancer. I have an aunt who at 87 is a twenty year breast cancer survivor. That being said, the Susan G. Komen organization licensed their name to too many products a while ago. It's been a while since I have seen a food product with their name and pink on the packaging, but a while ago it was ubiquitous. I think they were over exposing their brand and got to the point of being an annoyance at times.
