“My husband and I are both teachers.....”

Obviously these two should learn something about geography before lecturing others and above all trying to insist on everything being about black and white. The Great Divide(Also known as The Continental Divide)euns from Alaska to South America. The name had several meanings long before these two were even born. The Great Divide running through the United States is not the only Great Divide in the world. I recently enjoyed The Great Divide that runs through the east coast of Australia.Great Divide is also the name of a ski resort(named after the geo feature already mentioned.
If Bluebell succumbs to this idiocy, I’ll never buy their ice cream again.

When you are obssessed with racism and finding it, you will find it everywhere.

How about if you dont like the name, when you get your crate of it home, you can put a sticker on it and rename it yourself?

**Here ya go lady.

This is considered news by CBS.

I'm actively rooting for the super-v up in WY to blow.

If Blue Bell is smart, they will use this new wave of attention to their brand, and quickly come up with a new flavor that this family would like. Heads have been turned in their direction, but just for a while.
Maybe shoot a YouTube video or commericial showing this family trying the new flavor out, but only if the kids like the taste.
I would not remove the Great Divide, though.

**Can we get some Japanese people to sue Nabisco over Cheese Nips?**

Where's the white uproar over “Cracker Barrel” ? I refuse to eat in a place where the racist word “cracker” is in the title! “sambos” went out of business and the frito “bandito” was banned.. where's the equality in outrage over racist stereotypes, white folks can't be offended? /s

They should make a flavor called “Precious Butt-hurt Snowflake”.

Impossible! they’d complain about the name, the color of the carton, the flavor of the icecream, heck you made it with racist cream.. you can’t fix stupid or crazy... you just can’t because some butt hurt snowflakes are butt hurt over being called snowflakes and some snowflakes are butt hurt being called butt hurt. and some are both!

Yeah, if the kid is so smart then he should know this. Maybe introduce some geographic diversity into the household. Dice, piano keys, tuxedos, penguins...life is hard!

I am offended that Saltines are called “crackers”. They should be called flour cookies until black people start calling me a cookie, then it is time for another name change.

There should only be one flavor for everyone, and call it “Coexist.”
