Next time you visit the rice aisle at your local supermarket, you might notice that one of the products you're used to seeing looks a little bit different.

The brand formerly known as Uncle Ben's just relaunched with a new name — Ben's Original — and new packaging, and the company's products are already showing up in stores across the country.

Mars Food, the parent company of Ben's Original, made the announcement on Wednesday and shared photos of the sleek new packaging, which includes the new brand name and a familiar orange background/navy blue font.

How dare they objectify baby Ann Turner’s face on Gerber. She didn’t give her permission. She could, however, pick a new gender at that age.

It is probably a good thing Coppertone isn’t so pervy.

They still don’t get it.

The ones who don't get it are almost all woke white leftists who relish being offended on behalf of minorities.

I love it.

Remember? “Chinese-Japanese-dirty knees-look at these”

What’s the big deal?

And BTW, observe the obsession with “doe eyes” even in “American” animation - that’s from the Japs thinking they have to represent us no-yellow people with huge open eyes!

I’m insulted!

*sigh* Always has to be he who is above the common-man’s cheap product - or “American” product.

The Ready Rice is fantastic. 1-1/2 min in the microwave and perfect every time. I am totally spoiled.

If they are offended by colored people on labels, only whites will be showcased.

Ha!

Of course. These people are just destructive morons and I won’t be buying any of these products going forward.

Uncle Bens is parboiled rice. Any parboiled rice is the same as it is a commodity, at least the grades that make it to grocery store shelves. Uncle Bens had a brand. Had being the operative word. Wonder if the brand manager would throw a fit if someone came out with Uncle MAGA’s rice. Red White and Blue label, not orange with a smiling black man on the box... A smiling MAGA black man who is the company owner. I smell an opportunity for a MAGA Brotha. ;-)

Uncle Allen West, what do you think about rice?

I believe Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben were loved by black and whites.”””

Yup. They were familiar.They’re brands I’ve seen on my table and in stores for decades. This removal of them is absolute proof that the Woke don’t see Blacks as just people but as BLACKS and nothing else.

I know rice. Yes and yes. Now have you tried parboiled basmati or jasmine? To cry over. I know parboiling reduces nutrition a tad, but the kernels stay so distinct and have an organoleptic pop. Parboiled rice does so much better in something like a pilaf or a gumbo.

Rice is White. Rice is racist.

It is interesting to note the removal of all non-whites from packaging. They are being erased.
