“Go woke go Broke” as they say. Here’s hoping they wind up like JC Penney!!
My family had always used Land O’ Lakes butter. Once I became an adult, I’d buy Breakstones, Hotel Bar, or LO’L, but when I tried that *Irish* butter, there was no going back. However, now and then, I’d see Land O’ Lakes on a supermarket shelf, and would laugh to myself about my lifelong fascination with the picture on the carton. It featured the land of lakes, and in the middle of which was a beautiful, very wholesome, young Indian woman holding a carton of the butter bearing the same image, and so forth.
Recently, I ran out of my Irish butter, and the only stuff available in the store I went to was Land O’ Lakes. Since I needed it for that night’s dinner, I decided to buy it and when I looked at it later, the picture seemed pretty sparse with what looked to be an old fashioned font in the center. Something used to be there...now what used to be there? Oh no! They took away the Indian girl!
Et tu, Land O’ Lakes!!! Yep, et them too.
I thought about this sad state of affairs for awhile, and so to cheer myself up I got an idea. Why don’t we change all the packaging of brands we hold so dear to feature woke icons for today. Land O’ Lakes butter can put Fauxcahontas in the center of the landscape; we could have “Uncle Bernie’s” Rice; and how about “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez” Pancakes!
The possibilities are endless!
Hate the stuff, only pure maple used here
I represent the OPE, The Oyster Protection Endeavor, and will be calling for a boycott over this new name. It makes a mockery of pearls and the price oysters pay to supply women pearls. I ask everyone to boycott this product!
looking at the logo on the new bottle all I think of is the old Pearl Brewing Company building in San Antonio, TX. Beer and pancakes, I’ve never tried that.
Pearl Clutching?
