Myself, I have always wondered why a marketing team would name a product that reminds people of a pile of crap, “cow pies.”

I must say your brand names are arousing my taste buds right now.
They suggest REAL ‘cultural’ food.

Did an Eskimo complain? And if one did, did the Eskimo live in the North pole area, or Southern California?

Didn’t Chilly Willy board an iceberg headed to Southern CA?

I never was impressed with Dreyer’s ice cream.
If you want REALLY good ice cream, you gotta get Tillamook or Umpqua.
Oh,wait...

eBay bow has an “Ethnic and cultural collectibles” section for these cancel cultured out product things.

LOL, yes, agreed those Oregonian native insulters can sure make great dairy products! Racists!

“Klondike bars are better anyway.”
But way smaller than they used to be.

Why do people have such a need to keep to old language? And why shouldn’t the Inuit be called what they want to be called? Really, if your name was Jim and somebody just insisted on calling you Tim would you think that guy was an ass? Well guess what, their name is Inuit.

There’s lots of new under the sun if you’re not a whiner. Geeze people. Bunch of doom and gloom patheticness. OPEN YOUR EYES. It’s a fun exciting world out there, all you gotta do is participate.

Is it racist to think that Eskimos might eat ice cream? As long as they avoid the Yellow Snow.

Not ridiculous, the diversity crowd is removing all those pesky niggers and red skins from their utopian vision for society.
Best way to play the bigot is burn down the black neighborhoods while screaming racist. The democrats are the KKK founders. They just traded in their white sheets for antifa black.

What a great idea. Destroy the brand that has been around for decades and replace it with something that nobody has ever heard of.Makes perfect business sense. But you go ahead.
Exactly. Brand recognition is priceless. "Goodwill" is actually listed as a corporate asset when they are looking at mergers and such. Personally, I think just throwing away all of that history and brand recognition for no reason at all is objectionable from a fiduciary point of view.
I'm sure stockholders will be thrilled by this. /sarc
