Eskimo Pie
 
Another one bites the dust, apparently a nice cold ice cream pie on a hot day is offensive?

Pea Soup hit list

When Reynolds Metals owned the brand I was the in-house trademark attorney who was responsible to defend the mark against misuse by others. The business was sold off when Alcoa bought out Reynolds.

Sorry to see the new owners cannot see the value in a name so well known over a "woke" position.

Winn-Dixie executives used to laugh at their competitor "Piggly Wiggly" company name...well look who's laughing now, pretty sure Winn Dixie will be going thru a 're-branding' exercise....

smart money is on "Winnie's"

Wow! I missed that one in the news! You are right.

‘Inappropriate’ Eskimo Pie Name Will Be Retired, Company Says - The New York Times

I hear Charlie the Tuna is outraged over how he has been portrayed in advertisements—cultural misappropriation—and Bumble Bees are saying they should never have appeared on cans of tuna, either.

How about references to Amish this or that, such as furniture, by companies that aren’t Amish? How about “Redneck” jokes.

I devoted over forty years of my life to teaching English literature in universities. The last few years, my colleagues felt entirely free to speak disparagingly of the Dead White Males whose world makes up about 95% of great literature. They wanted us to stop teaching work by Dead White Males. Anyone else dead was honored, of course. Sometimes they changed it to Old White Males, and it was clear that they considered me part of the problem, rather than part of the solution. I decided to retire when the virus hit.

Honestly, I’m scared that there may be some of these protestors who have taken a course in art history and realize that a huge share of paintings in our National Gallery, in the National Portrait Gallery in London, etc., are of Kings and Queens and nobility who were guilty of, say, colonialism, or slave-trading, or atrocities of some sort. Then the protestors will rush in and destroy our heritage in art. We may be left primarily with landscapes and animal paintings. Well, maybe not even them. Maybe they’ll want to get rid of all of Audubon’s paintings, as he worked from dead models.

They are so eager to take offense at a past about which they know virtually nothing and treat it as if it has just happened.

Pacifier Foods. Good food for all the whinny little people that are offended by everything.

Those darn Eskimo's are causing nothing but trouble.

That’s it, I have had enough! I am going to tear down every igloo I come across in the Villages. Oh, what a minute, there are no igloos in Florida. Then I am going out to our garage and kick over our igloo cooler.

The sad part is they are the ones teaching our kids and grandkids.

End of the hot brown

C'mon Indian Motorcycles, get with the program. You too, Clint Black, Charlie Brown, Siouxie and the Banshees, Dixie Chicks, Southern Comfort, and all products made of cotton. Mississippi Mud Pie, you are out of here! Lee jeans, sorry, unfortunate choice of brand name...same for you, Fruit of the Loom.
