Don”t forget the Mustang Ranch.

Aunt Jemima Pies and Eskimo syrup.
RACISM!! Cannot say “chocolate.” Or “bunny.”

Acceptable alternative names...

Where will this insanity end??????????
Great song. I am off to youtube to listen to it now.
They’re Indigenous Circumpolar Peoples Frozen Confections, you racist pigs!
“Bologna”
Never did like the way it sounds.
You CANNOT say “chocolate.” What’s the matter with you?
