I hope every one of these companies who change their products names citing cultural insensitivity, see an enormous decline in sales and a sharp drop in their stock prices. I hope the American public teaches them a good, hard lesson about shameless pandering. |

Well, Aunt Jemima's ultimate slavemaster is Pepsico, so I doubt that plantation's gonna feel much fallout of any kind. |

I dunno. Even Pepsico demands maximum profitability from every product in their line. Under performers get the boot post haste. If nothing else, it would send them a message about spineless pandering to current popular opinion. It would be satisfying to see and hear in the news about how they were forced to discontinue production of their once profitable, now renamed line of products. A lot of people would get a good laugh out of it while at the same time, feeling a little sense of them getting what was coming to them. |

Hmmmm...maybe they can use a drag queen image, and call the pancake mix Uncle Jemima. That is a drag queen in that pic above, right? |

OK, yeah. Still, she looks like a drag queen. Nikki Minaj, too. |

Eskimo Pie to change name, cites racial equality: We 'recognize
the term is derogatory' The owner of Eskimo Pie ice cream treats says it
will change the name of its 99-year-old brand because the term is
"derogatory," the company announced on Friday.21 hours ago
I guess we aren't done now.
I'm getting so thoroughly disgusted with EVERYTHING going on now. Cops killing people, riots, stupid politicians, COVID19, businesses closing forever, now product name changes to accommodate the whiners...I don't want to hear ANYTHING about ANYTHING anymore. I know it sounds like I'm sticking my head in the sand, but I've just about reached my saturation point of tolerating ignorance.
Not to mention that this site will
delete everything just written without warning when you click "post
reply". Why, why, why???

It's just some glitch in the software that usually times you out when you let an open reply sit too long before posting. I've gotten into a habit here at CIH where, before I hit Post Reply, I cut and pate everything I just typed so that if that happens, I won't lose it all after I just spent 10 minutes typing it. You have to get into the habit of doing it every time, though. |

I stopped buying the Aunt Jemima pancake mix after I got a weevil infestation in the kitchen from a box of it. Hungry Jack packages theirs in a plastic bag before it goes into the box; AJ didn't, so whatever they do now, I don't care...

I got a recorded message today that said Progressive is sending someone out to inspect the exterior of the house. Here we go! Why do I hate insurance companies so much? One of the questions they asked me was "how old is the roof on this house?"...I have no f*cking idea! In recent years the insurance companies have added a clause concerning the age of the roof and what percentage they will pay to replace it. My email to my agent... Good hands! That's a laugh! I want to thank you for
screwing this up! I took care of my "late payment"! No thanks to you.
I should have changed insurance companies! Her reply... You have had a history of sending me abusive emails and I have reported
you to the authorities. You clearly want new insurance, so please find
it. I will not take your verbal abuse. I am sorry you are so unhappy. |

Do you have a mortgage or did you pay cash? If you don't have a mortgage there is no legal requirement that says you have to carry homeowner's insurance. Not in Florida anyway, but I would imagine it's the same everywhere. |

I think this a-hole wants a feud! I'm gonna call a surveyor, a fence guy and 811. Not only are the f*cking chickens still sh*tting in my yard, this asshole is shooting off fireworks at 9:00 at night. Most of you may still be up at that time but I am not! I think he's taunting me! We have a history! I have yelled at these young people in the old neighborhood. I even mooned them! If they want a fight, I can give them a legal one! I found this asshole's facebook page. Picture perfect Wisconsin redneck! Oh! Is that a bad word? |

I know you don't need my advice, but I wouldn't make too big of a deal out of 9 pm fireworks. Even if you're in bed by that time, he's probably not breaking any kind of noise ordinance and you'll probably just make things worse. Get your fence put up and go about your business. If the fireworks get later in the evening and he starts violating a local noise ordinance, then call the PD. JMHO as always. |

I've never used a dryer.
I'd rather hang my clothes on the line in the fresh air. And bird droppings. |
