Hardly a life changing event, but, I’m sure appreciated by many.

Love the witty headline 3T, but not the rice.

Ooh, Aunt Betty’s Yorkshire puds? Stereotyping Yorkshire women as feeders of everyone. Or maybe just a name that conjures up feelings of warmth to a brand.

So Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima have been given black marks, resulting in products names being changed.

What next.? Food for thought.!!
