With news of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben getting name changes what other products need a rebrand to avoid offense and allow healing?

Skinny Girl (insensitive to those with eating disorders; and fatties)
Lucky Charms (Irish stereotype)
Cracker Barrel (obvious)
Winn Dixie
Dixie Crystals
Gatorade (glorifies jort wearing)

Add to the list

"Lucky" and "Charms" aren't specific to just Irish people.
Cracker Barrel is named after the barrels of soda crackers you used to be able to buy from at old country stores, it's not a reference to the derogatory "cracker" term used for white people.

Lucky Charms has a dang Leprechaun as a mascot!

To use your Debbie Downer logic: Aunt's are not linked to one race nor are all Jemima's. Same for Uncle's and Bens.

Sorry you took the thread seriously.
