The maker of Eskimo Pies will change the 99-year-old brand name of the ice cream treat, the company said Friday — becoming the latest organization to overhaul the marketing of a product with a racially tinged moniker in recent weeks.
The owner of the Eskimo Pie, Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, said in a statement they had been considering renaming the chocolate-covered ice cream bar and popsicle for some time.
“We are committed to being a part of the solution on racial equality, and recognize the term is derogatory,” the company’s head of marketing said in a statement.
“This move is part of a larger review to ensure our company and brands reflect our people values,” the company added.
Along with the name change, the company will alter the treat’s marketing scheme, which traditionally featured a young boy dressed as an Eskimo in a snowy environment. …

Whatever. I don’t buy any of this high carb, high sugar junk food that is being re-branded. Let these companies enjoy their great virtue, while their executive ranks probably remain mostly male and lily white.
Every civilized race has a version of Swedish meatballs.

Eskimo Pies will now be called “Indigenous People in a Frikin’ Cold Place Pie”.
How long before everything is wrapped in a generic package (made from recycled materials of course). Kind of like how it was in the Soviet bloc.
All things Soviet, in a new package.
I’ve had about enough of this ‘racial sensitivities’ micro-triggering mentality. It’s time all you PUSSIES get a grip and quit pulling down statues and forcing brand changes and generally throwing tantrums like a bunch of three year olds over things that were said and done generations before you were born. GET.OVER.YOURSELVES. The past is the past and it ain’t gonna magically change because you want to wish it away. And it won’t mean a thing at the end of the day. General Robert E. Lee will still have led the Confederate forces during the Civil War. (CW I if this shit keeps up.) George Washington will still have been the commander of the Colonial forces that routed the British and then went on to be our first president. Thomas Jefferson will still have helped author the Declaration of Independence. Uncle Ben will still have been Uncle Ben, even if you renamed him Uncle Bernie and put Sanders on the box. (C’mon, you know you would if you had the chance.) Mrs. Butterworth will still have been a white woman masquerading as a big fat mammy. What next, you gonna wage cultural jihad over Dolley Madison cupcakes because her husband John was a slaveholder? Pizz off!!!!!
Damn!!! Just damn!!
Look, fat. You’re too obese and too male,
so easy on the mustard, ya scone-eating grass gobbler

Just another in the long line of foods I will never purchase again......
