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.

That the older brother from Happy Days. He just disappeared without an explanation early in the first series.

"... rinse BEFORE cooking. Nice and fluffy!!"

My wife and I have vacationed several times with a Chinese couple. They pointed out to my wife that she wasn't making the rice correctly. "Nice and fluffy" is WRONG.

For those of us who use a fork, nice and fluffy is fine. Try picking up fluffy rice with chopsticks.

Chuck started the first gay bath house in Milwaukee and Howard disowned him.

I’m thinking about rereading Original Tom’s Cabin. And while I’m in the mood I should take a look at my old collection of Original Remus books. It just seems logical since I’ve now pledged to never eat rice again.

Just so long as they don't mess with Uncle Jemima's Pure Mash Liquor.

Uncle Allen West, what do you think about rice?

I kind of like that idea.

“Ben’s Original”. Which is actually not the original. The original had a friendly looking black dude on the box. Now he’s expunged. Five years from now, people will ask, “who’s Ben?”

Aunt Jemima was our pancake day good friend. Happy face and she did not mind a white couple enjoying the pleasure gotten from her syrup on our cakes. Now we are hoping that the no black people do not change the label on one of our favorite sauces, Stubs, Walmart, with a black man wearing a cowboy hat and looking very Texan. Shame that some persons with warped minds about American culture have been able to chip away at the small pleasant things in life.

Progressives, democrats, and liberals can’t stand the sight of a black man while they are eating. Filthy racists.

I think I’ll run over to Sambo’s and get a short stack with a dab of Land O Lakes, smothered in Aunt Jemima’s syrup with a side of sweet Uncle Ben’s rice.

The “new” blacks have it half a** backwards. That packaging was a tribute to blacks. The same thing with all the Indian names.
