Eskimo Pies Are Dead To Me

The maker of Eskimo Pies will change the 99-year-old brand name of the ice cream treat, the company said Friday — becoming the latest organization to overhaul the marketing of a product with a racially tinged moniker in recent weeks.

Good. "Eskimo Pie" always sounded like someone shit in the snow.

What would you do for a Bull Dyke Bar?

They announced the new name is Aunt Jemima's pies

What’s wrong with Eskimo?

In a related move, Good Humor-Breyers will kill its popular "Klondike" bars because of its lesbian-tinged moniker.

Well ,then I will shall have Nunavut!

what will they do with Cream of White cereal?

I vote for "Pesky Moe's Pies."

At least they didn't spell it Esquimaux.

How about “My Dead Gay Son” Pie?

Eskimo Pies are LITERAL TRANS VIOLENCE!

There goes Spic and Span!

They can finally market Cream of Wheat as Wallpaper Paste.

In Canada and Greenland, the term "Eskimo" is predominantly seen as pejorative and has been widely replaced by the term "Inuit" or terms specific to a particular group or community. This has resulted in a trend whereby some Canadians and Americans believe that they should not use the word "Eskimo" and use the Canadian word "Inuit" instead, even for Yupik people. Some people still believe that Eskimo translates to "eater of raw meat" which may be seen as a violent and perhaps barbaric descriptor as used by racist colonizers.

Inuit or Eskimo: Which name to use?

Linguists now believe that "Eskimo" is derived from an Ojibwa word meaning "to net snowshoes." However, the people of Canada and Greenland prefer other names. "Inuit," meaning "people," is used in most of Canada, and the language is called "Inuktitut" in eastern Canada although other local designations are used also. The Inuit people of Greenland refer to themselves as "Greenlanders" or "Kalaallit" in their language, which they call "Greenlandic" or "Kalaallisut."

Most Alaskans continue to accept the name "Eskimo," particularly because "Inuit" refers only to the Inupiat of northern Alaska, the Inuit of Canada, and the Kalaallit of Greenland, and it is not a word in the Yupik languages of Alaska and Siberia.

Let's rub noses, like the Eskimoses.

Blue Bunny's version with the thick chocolate are better anyway.

They be coming after you next Black Beans.

Haagen Dazs ice cream bars are much better because the ice cream is better. Esquimaux Pies are made with cheap, thin ice cream, little better than ice milk. HD bars are made with rich, silky HD ice cream.

R10 I'm outraged it's taken this long!

Change the name to Hair Pies and watch sales skyrocket!

What are ya lookin’ at me for?!

I’M SHAKING MY DOVE BAR IN ANGER

So this year is the metoo but racist, what theme will next year be?

EVERYTHING must be revisited NOW.

Case in point: Krazy Glue.

An insult to everyone on a spectrum, or near one. And the damage to the bipolar community....unspeakable.

Now what can we rub, like the Inuits?

Transfat, you in danger,girl!

I insist that author Gay Talese change his first name or be cancelled.

I'm concerned what my grocer will think of me. If I buy white beans, will he think me a racist? If I buy black beans, does he think it's lip service and that they'll just collect dust on the shelf or be donated to the poor at Thanksgiving? I've been a Land O Lakes butter consumer since birth. I'm just supposed to just drop it and buy Trader Joe's butter instead? What if Joe turns out to be a traitor? This leaves me all so confused and angst-ridden. Shopping for groceries IS hell right now.

In other news, The Transformers films must change their name to Noncisgender Binary Vehicles.

How's Bob Dylan gonna rework his song?

racism (definition): prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

An Eskimo Pie is an ice cream. Ice cream is cold. Eskimos live in northern regions. Where it's cold.

Not a damn thing derogatory about it.

Is "Eskimo" a racial slur?

That's what 99% of the rest of the (sane) world is asking.

Washington Post mist be cancelled.

So if a fuck a girl my straight bro friends have also fucked, can we still call ourselves Eskimo brothers, or... ?

Yes, the E-word is as offensive as the F-word is to a AIDS Boy

R31 If we're so anxious not to trigger anyone 'on a spectrum' or bipolar. . . I recommend that all Jerry Lewis movies be banned.

Politicians would be wise to make campaign ads referencing all the corporate capitulations and brand changes as evidence of a world gone mad.

Don't take away our Scooter Pies!

Milk & Pepsi is racist, Laverne.

Give me a minute and I'll think of why.

I like the name “Frozen JonBenets”!

In the book, Cheaper By the Dozen - which is quite charming - the mother indicates her offense at rudeness or a distasteful subject by wrinkling her nose and saying “That’s Eskimo.”

I still use it.

[quote]Don't take away our Scooter Pies!

I agree

Very soon, a trip to the supermarket is going to be unrecognizable.

Heather Duke is canceled.

[quote]I like the name “Frozen JonBenets”!

Or Frozen Pineapple JonBenets

What about Eskimo Joe's in Stillwater, OK?

Madonna to retitle early hit “Borderline” and rewrite the lyrics in solidarity with the insufferable.

Uh oh.

Is it some sort of racist thing to mention the borders?

I don't think I've ever seen an Eskimo Pie. Is it like a Klondike Bar?

Gotta cancel that Klon-DIKE now!!!!!!

r62

Yes, except it has a wooden penis (stick for non gays)

Magnums are much better. The condoms, too.

OMG What will be next? Little Debbie's Jelly Creme Pies!!

R66, my goodness, those look tasty! They remind me of a cookie that seems to have disappeared - a graham cracker circle, with jam topped with marshmallow and coated in chocolate. It was like a Mallomar with jam. I haven't seen them in years.

Yes, R66. Those will have to go. Menstruation and private sexual acts are nobody else's business.

Damn, some of you are so dim.

R67 They make look delicious but they're made with palm oil and corn syrup.

"Eskimo Pie" is mentioned in the lyrics!

Pretty soon we'll only be able to point to things. Nothing can have a name.

I kinda like the sound of Blubber Bars.

Much worse the company changed the quality of their product to artificial crap years ago. I don't care what they call it. I haven't bought it in years and years. They should name it Shit, after the taste. It hasn't been real Eskimo Pie in well over a decade, maybe 2 decades.

This is not gonna end until there’s nobody left on food packages except for white people.

And it’s still going to be high-carbohydrate swill.

Chocolate-Coated Vanilla Ice-Cream Bars

Edy's pie makes NO sense.

The notion of eskimo, ice, and frozen treat leads to eskimo pie.

Whoever did the branding failed miserably.

Eskimo means shit eater. You are literally calling this a shit-eater pie.
