WINN-DIXIE SUPERMARKETS
CONSIDER CHANGING 95-YEAR-OLD NAME ...
After George Floyd's Death
One of the largest supermarket chains based in the Southeast is considering dropping its name after nearly 100 years ... a move triggered by the death of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Sources at Winn-Dixie tell TMZ ... the supermarket chain -- billed as a southern heritage brand serving Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi -- is considering changing its name because, just like The Chicks, it deems the term "Dixie" as problematic due to ties to the old south and its way of thinking.

They're now simply "The Chicks."

Winn-Dixie could just become Winn Supermarkets. But what about Dixie Cups. Could they just become Cups? Could Uncle Ben’s Converted Rice just be Converted Rice, or would that be an unconstitutional establishment of religion?
Eskimo Pies is changing it’s name to something else. Maybe First Nations Pies or Inuit Pies? I hear that the Village of Chitty Chatty gets its name from a swamp named after an Indian Chief. Is that acceptable? Perhaps it should change its name to the Village of Chatty Cathy! Wawa Markets gas station says the name comes from a Native American word for Canadian geese. I think it comes from a one year old’s word for water. Will Pontiac, named after an Indian Chief, change its name to, say, General Motors? Or was General Motors actually a Confederate General?
I hear the U.S. Mint is suing the rapper Fifty Cents over his appropriation of that name. His attorney says the U.S. Mint should rename the Fifty Cents coin Fifty Cents in his honor and put his likeness on it or face a countersuit.
