The makers of Eskimo Pie ice cream have announced the new name for their brand, losing a 100-year-old trademark which is now considered racially insensitive.

From 2021 Eskimo Pie will be known as Edy's Pie - a tribute to one of their founders, Joseph Edy.

In 1928 Edy and William Dreyer decided to join forces to manufacture ice cream, beginning a company which owns Eskimo Pie and is now known as Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, in turn owned by Nestle.

Good. Now, let’s get rid of every indian name associated with cities, towns, mountains, creeks and streams.... shameful to name things after indians.

I never liked Eskimo Pies. But, changing the name is ridiculous, just more virtue signaling. I hope people stop buying them and teach the company a lesson.

The political correctness and re-naming of things is currently pretty trendy — but I’m not that Inuit.

It is NOT virtue signaling. The company is simply doing the intelligent thing to avoid trouble/lawsuits from the left.

Face it, the right has done NOTHING to protect the victims of the left. If you don’t bend the knee to leftism, you get destroyed.

Prove me wrong.

Were the Eskimos offended or just some nutballs?

Why is the name derogatory? Is it racist to think that Eskimos might eat ice cream? Do companies give their product a name that they think is derogatory?
