Cat in a rocket ship.

Jesus christ lmao.....they need to leave things alone

Thats' obviously our logo stretched. Thank you! We love it.

Why do I see my parents fighting?

Not to be confused with Uncle Huen's, which has the same sodium w/more ginger flavoring, but the same amount of structural racism.

Why did they add my parents fighting to the logo?

Monkey Demons!?!

Why is it my parents fucking?!

Like an evangelical Trump supporter.

I'm picking up some Mr potato head vibes

What if I see an old, black guy?

Who watches the watchmen as they cook their dinner?

Why do I follow you people

Default! You used the word 'uncle' and that's apparently not politically correct!

MtPilotFunGirl 😁

It looks like a vigina.

Vaginas and Rice?

Looks like a character or combination of characters from L. Frank Baum's *Oz* series.

Brilliant.

it's some kind of rice weevil! kill it

LOL y’all are a mess

It appears to be a 19th century gentleman in pince-nez and mustachios, disapproving of you.

Who will watch the Potmen?

Why is the new design just a picture of my parents arguing?

lol

That’s actually pretty smart

This is genius.

LMAO

They did it in orange obviously to make fun of President Trump. It's criminal

That is clearly Krombopulos Michael.

They will ask for sides I will whisper no!

They will still see racism.

Isn't taking the image of a black man away like the opposite of what we're trying to achieve?

Evil Mr. Potato Head.

Fu Manchu!

Customers can be assured that it is the same crap inside that they have always come to associate with the brand.

Didnt they rip off the original guy behind the mascot?

Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains...

I was hoping for this.

I see an antebellum era black man.

Hahaha that is a truly cursed image.

I see appeasement.

Had it been Aunt they would have called dropping the name sexist All this is great, but what would’ve been really great was if BreonnaTaylor killers would’ve been apprehended. This wasn’t racist.
