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.

LOL!
That the older brother from Happy Days. He just disappeared without an explanation early in the first series.
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.
Ones I knew were work related....now retired I don’t mix at all...and won’t. One gal I respected pulled the race card on management without reason.....so that did her in.
Huh, I thought ethnic cleansing was a bad thing.

Chuck started the first gay bath house in Milwaukee and Howard disowned him.
As did Mutual of Omaha
nice and fluffy is right for me. Chopsticks?? I use them to hold up my basil plants.
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.
And the Indian maiden is gone from the Leinenkugel’s bottles
Never to be bought again at my house, also said goodbye to Aunt Jemima products.

Ahh, thanks.
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?”
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.
