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.

Simply ridiculous
Who thinks it’s derogatory?
Bye Bye Edy’s Pie
This is the day that you die
Good. Now, let’s get rid of every indian name associated with cities, towns, mountains, creeks and streams.... shameful to name things after indians.
the companies don't want any trouble in the future so our culture must change everything...
Dang... one more thing I got to boycott. I guess I’m giving up ice cream?
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.
Klondike Bars are insensitive to LGBTQs.
I would personally like to see more Polish, German, Irish, Italian,Spanish names etc....
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.
Why not Northern Indigenous People’s pie - NIP-PIE? (Oops - “nip” not good!)
Buy Klondikes.
Were the Eskimos offended or just some nutballs?
Yup, nothing is sacred LOL
German chocolate cake is next.
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?
