The owner of Eskimo Pie treats said it would change the name of the nearly century-old ice cream brand because the term is derogatory, following similar moves this week by the makers of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben’s

“We are committed to being a part of the solution on racial equality, and recognize the term is derogatory,” Elizabell Marquez, head of marketing for Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, said in a statement.

You know, it's 2020. Is Nabisco really still using the word 'Cracker' on its products? CancelCulture

How absolutely ridiculous. The term 'Eskimo Pie' was never derogatory, it was used as a reference to ice blocks used to make igloo's. PC gone crazy. The sooner all these woksters bugger off, the better.

Perhaps it’s not the best time to announce the name of my new Brazil nut distributor ship.

And yet the Karen meme continues without thinking of the Karen people of Myanmar and Thailand

guarantee you this only offends white liberals and not actually eskimos EskimoPie PoliticalCorrectness

Stupiest thing i ever heard. same w ajem n unc bens. wen someone puts a name on something its a compliment n these days called BRANDING. what next. peter pan peanut butter ? Oreos ? what ? this is absolutely ludicrous. n what new nane u gonna give ? some Famous Trendy person ?

It’s amazing how all of a sudden all these brands became offensive. Many have been challenged for years. Hopefully these companies are doing it for the right reasons and not to jump on wagon.

Eskimo Pie must have needed some publicity. Stupid effs

OMG SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!! Sick of this bullsh*t

You change my Italian ice or my Lebanese Salad, Irish Coffee, French Baguette, Russian Roulage, or my Redneck Brownie Pie I’m going up somebody’s head

Not offensive, Not derogitory, Utter nonsense.

I’m offended by CrackerBarrel ‘s name!! 😉 LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder Trump2020NowMoreThanEver

Let me pass on the secret of rebranding the worst food so it's attractive to minorities. This crap is filled with sugar, which is poisonous. You think you won? This is not a win. This is a corporate control mechanism because they dont want you weaponized forever. Get it? Good

If they had wanted to remove the Aunt Jemima image a year ago, people would be accusing using the company of being racist for removing a black person.

What derogatory name? Another ridiculous chance!

How is “Eskimo” derogatory? 🤦‍♀️ Next, some virtue signaler will say “street tacos” is derogatory to tacos and to Mexicans. 🤡 For the record: I’m Mexican-born, and I don’t like the term “street tacos”...but I do NOT think it’s derogatory nor racist. 🌮🌮🌮

When is somebody going to address 'Cracker' Barrel?

I am EATING an EskimoPie with some UncleBens Rice with AuntJemima Syrup...🇺🇸😂👍

OMG!!!🤬

Up next - Cracker Jacks? No?

Did they ask the Eskimos? That was the only thing putting them on the map! What a rip off

So, all these years when these companies were making millions off their products with their “racist” logos, it was only in the last couple of weeks that they have realized it’s racist? Give me a break!! Added to my list of companies and restaurants ChickfilA, that are gone!

Remember when Ringling Bros got rid of the elephants to please PETA. That went well.

What a bunch of Eskimo Pieheads

WTH Whats Next ? 😂😂😂😂

Time to boycottnestle EskimoPies 99 years old and some woke snowflake is mad

Another product added to my list of items I will no longer purchase or support. Ridiculous.

Good thing that Nestle did this. Now they can get back to draining the world’s aquifers.

Is it no longer cold in the Arctic? That's news to me!

Next we need to change the name of Irish cream.

Cancel Culture. Cancel Culture has no limits. Cancel Culture has no off switch. Cancel Culture has no conscience. Cancel Culture only knows to cancel. Everything will be deemed inappropriate.

'Hey, kids! Who wants some Indigenous Circumpolar Peoples Pie?'

I'm amazed that shiftless layabouts who spend all day, every day whinging on teh soshalz have this much influence.

Moronic

This seems counter-Inuitive.

Don’t cave into this deranged Marxist ideology! NestleUSA You are on my list of never to buy products along with Gillette

And there is STILL no positive change happening. It is all pandering.

Well, can we finally change the name of Taco BELL? I mean, the “bell” part is clearly a veiled reference to “Southern Belle”. OR DO ALL YOU GD RACISTS WANT TO PUT PEOPLE BACK IN CHAINS!!!

so who's calling out wash redskins owner

Next up: Michelin Man insults white fatsos

No more Nestle for my family....

Jeep Cherokee next?

Wait.....the term Eskimo is derogatory?

In a show of fairness, all bakers should cease making Crackers and White Bread, given their derogatory names.

How is it derogatory if it's associated with something delicious?

Just keeps getting better lol

I think my family owned toothpaste company is safe.

I am Irish and I don't give a fuck that there is a cereal with a Leprechaun on the box hell there are magically delicious.

Maybe they can sell the naming rights. Like football stadiums.

Why? Whose complaining? Nobody. Enough of this righteous and hollow pandering.

Did they even ask the Eskimos if they were offended?

Get with the program. “Eskimo” as a brand name is 40 years outdated. Doesn’t stop the fact Nestle is a garbage company with no ethical value nor do they peddle any quality products. nestle

Why not change to Inuit Pie or Nunavut Pie?

Has anyone ask the eskimos how they feel about that? They might be offended. What are they not good enough to have a delicious ice cream named after them? That’s offensive I’d think.

Th world is going crazy. All these transgender, black people, racism and etc issues became so stupid. First they were fighting for equality, and now for... what? They discriminate themselves and want equality. They call us white people and want EQUALITY. MORONS

2020. The year that the world became big pussies. 😂😂😂😂

Caving in to the satanic leftist regressive totalitarian communist social justice whiner thought police.

Just stop, this is is nuts.

I seriously want to know when Nintendo is going to remove the Italian stereotype of Mario. End the bigotry. CancelMario GoombaIsAnItalianSlur

Has anyone asked the Inuit people what they think?

Funny Dreyers I didn’t even realize that Eskimo Pies were still being sold. Quit with the bullshit wokeness.

Soon brand individuality will cease to exist.

Seriously? Then they damn sure should be renaming Bojangles.

Fukkin' cowards surrendering to the SJW knuckleheads for no valid reason.

LOOOOOOOOOL FUCK THAT

Well, I know what products to BOYCOTT.

Good thing I stopped buying all Nestle products about 2 years ago.

How is this derogatory unless they think their product tastes like a pile of crap?

Well Wondering here in little old Australia it's only a matter of time before we change lots of things Gaytine icecreams Choc block icecreams LBGTIQ community celebrate. Peanut butter - for anyone whose made a mistake White bread - explains itself. Coke - recovering addicts👍

All these pandering, virtue signaling cucks will go broke so fast they wont even know what happened.

I guess Washington Redskins are next. Right?

I guess those of us buying brown cows all these years were on the right side of history.

Wall Street Journal are you taking OVER for the Karen's now? May have to go buy She-shed soon too.

Next up Washington Redskins ..

How is it derogatory?

More votes for Trump.

Call it 'Honkie Pie' for all I care. Wouldn't bother me a bit. Get over yourselves.

Next on the chopping block... Mothers Cookies.

What's the new name? N***** pies?

In all seriousness, is Eskimo a derogatory term

Is it really offensive? I have seen a Yutuve Channel where an Indigenous Alaskan person explains why he and most other indigenous people he knows still use the term. See also.

O no... a corporation that succumbs to perceived leftist judgement needs to be taught a lesson. Bitch slap anyone that has the new ESKIMO PIE

I’m sorry, but I laughed a little when I read this.

At this rate, Mr Clean isn't even going to be safe. I'm sure the 'studies' scholars can come up with some BS like heteronormativity or something...though Mr Clean wouldn't be entirely out of place on Fire Island. Maybe, the 'Mr' part assumes gender...

The world is stupid.

I keep saying Count Chocula has to go. 🤣🤣

Remember your childhood? You won't when they're done.

Eskimo brothers hardest hit.

November 2020 millions of shoppers safely return to shopping only to discover they don't have a clue what to buy anymore.

Frozen Kabloona Treat?

I will dispose of all Eskimo Pies in inventory.

I guess I'll be buying the 'Great Value' brand of these products from now on.

Hahahahahahaha.

I'm still haunted by the things I've done for a Klondike bar.

STOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPP!!! GODAMMIT

Well what about the poor Klondikes?

Is this a fucking joke? OM I cannot stop laughing

Waiiit they got Uncle Ben, too?!

that's just stupid

What This world is coco. So scary to live in 2020. Now an ice cream company playing the game? Give me a break. Sad times. Ok, put this new name ice cream and company on the no-buy list - political fraud.

R I D I C U L O U S !

Eskimo

Dawnsfire Well I'm having Nunavut.

All Polish sausages must be 6” or more to avoid being derogatory!

How is that derogatory? Honest question.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

RennaW This is getting ridiculous. Truly ridiculous. Cowards

brahmresnik Soooooooo stupid

lol so stupid

Next

Zero people believe the name is derogatory.

No one cares, it's all publicity

How about Wall Street Journal? Since we are against the wall, right?

What’s derogatory about it

How about we boycott General Mills for Lucky charms. Oh wait, that’s just the Irish. No one gives a fuck about them..

Idiots

Just when you think the stupidity of political correctness has hit rock bottom it goes even deeper...

Inuit Pies?

So will every product be called white guy?

Nobody thinks Eskimo is derogatory

Everyone chill out! It’s getting ridiculous!

Redskins you are up

Horrible company if the named their product to make fun or insult a certain group of people.

is everyone nuts or what? get over this silly ass nonsense.

That’s it! I think we should put the Confederate flag on Oreos!!!!

brahmresnik I’m offended by the name “Wall Street Journal”. Using the term “Wall” hurts my feelings.

And in a related story, the holders of the copyrighted song made famous by Bing Crosby have announced the song will be renamed 'I'm Dreaming of a Night Christmas'.

I hope all these bandwagon bs business go out of business! Fake a$$..

Go with,”Overpriced Ice Cream Sandwich”.... That should work.

Absurd.

So many triggered. Imagine if they suffered from actual violent hate.

Eskimo 3.14159265359. Problem solved.

Oh come on now

cultural revolution

Plus they should change the color. It’s all white. Disgusting.

Stupidity is spreading like a virus !

What's funny about this is that if the companies didn't virtue signal and changed the names quietly, neither side would bitch about it.

How about Cracker Jack? We're all in this together right!

Inuit Pie it is... Mush in today!

I say we boycott Aunt Jemimah, Uncle Ben’s, Eskimo Pie altogether for this cheap ploy to advertise and ride the coattails of a very serious issue

What about Crackerjacks?

Nobody was even paying attention to these brands. What a cheap way to get exposure

Don’t forget these...I’m being sarcastic, this is just ridiculous.

Oh. My. God.

What a load of bullshit.

It was either that or miss out on a nominal boost in sales. Did anyone remember these existed until now?

😳

This is redicuous...

. . . then they came for Eskimo Pies, and I STILL said nothing . . .

Racism solved. Take away all ethnic brands.

Eskimo is derogatory

Joe Six-pack,you know what to do ,just leave it in the chiller cabinet..choosing 'Vanilla'will drive them mad!!Thats what I'm gonna do..color bar..vanilla good ..chocolate,there you go( Not being Racist,thats what they want)

Sell outs! Another food I won’t be eating ever again, and anything Nestle makes. Nestle

Stop with this crap already. It belongs on an nbcsnl show

Bullshit

Can we get a reporter to Alaska right stat now? Gotta cover those Eskimos protesting for this name change. Or is it just busybody whites again?

Vote with your $$. Boycott.

All 25 Eskimos were thankful and described the move as a landmark against discrimination and the beginning of a new era.

Eskimo is not derogatory.

There goes the quality of Eskimo Pies. It also has a dark chocolate coating over white vanilla.

....and these symbolic gestures, are going to improve the plight or image of minorities

What about Eskimo kisses?

Lmao

Imagine being bothered that a company is changing the name of THEIR product to be less racist.

Solving racism one idiotic way after another. Bravo.

Cotton is racist? Stop wearing clothes!

Unbelievable...

Rose Levy Beranbaum's Fresh Blueberry Pie Recipe on Food52This is a brighter, lighter blueberry pie than you're used to, one that keeps all the texture and integrity of blueberries intact. You can use your go-to pie crust -- just roll out a single crust and blind bake it -- or I've included Beranbaum's recipe, which is excellent, and has all sorts of clever tricks.
