For the first time in more than 100 years, the laughing red cow has traded her trademark smile for a somber expression on select packages of The Laughing Cow Creamy Original cheese wedges rolling out nationwide.
Bel Brands told Fox News Digital the frown is only temporary and promised the mystery will begin to unravel in the coming days.

Costco had it on sale last week. I loaded up. I love it for a snack.

“We Need to Talk” means “SIDDOWNANDSHADDAP while we (leftists) scream in your face”.
I lost interest when they changed the name of the cheese. It was originally “La Vache qui rit”. Guess too many couldn’t figure out what it meant.
Will the Laughing Cow go the way of Borden’s Elsie, Mr. Clean, and Aunt Jemima?
They demand AOC be appointed president!
I’m guessing this is another food logo the Woke crowd is going to remove, like Aunt Jemima, and the Land O’Lakes Indian girl.
Nope. You’re not worth the effort, for that. Maybe someone else saw your nasty post.
But, nice way to post to me, again, loony old fart.

Have you ever lived on a farm? The cow is a dairy cow and they don't produce beef.
Our dairy cow was named Daisy but my oldest brother milked her.
“Have you ever lived on a farm?”
Now we have to “live on a farm” to discuss Big Food and Big Drug and what they’re doing to the country? You sound like the College-Educated Woman insisting that only WOMEN can discuss abortion.
Love Tillamook products. Been to the dairy 3 times.
Tillamook dairy products are great .. we love their cream cheese. Hard to find around these parts, though.
And, they have a reserve block cheese that still uses the old school animal rennet. That one’s even harder to find :-(
Try the ice cream. Inexpensive and creamy.
We have! It’s delish. But, we pretty much stay on keto ... so, (good) ice cream is off the list.
Tillamook doesn’t use emulsifiers in their ice cream (like mono and diglycerides or polysorbate 80), so that’s good.
A lot of commercially made ice creams do, these days.
Holstein, Jersey and Guernsey are dairy cattle and Santa Gertrudis, White Face Hereford, Black Angus are beef cattle.
I don't think you would need to know how to make a bull into a steer or how to disbud a calf.
