In the picture is. The Quaker Oats guy, Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima. I don't know who the American-Indian one is.

so are companies not allowed to re-brand their products now?
Should things always remain the same? These are commercial companies making commercial decisions on their branding which they are all allowed to do |

These brands never needed re-branding. They were already great brands that had lasted the test of time. Last edited by Alf; 01-03-2022 at 07:17 PM. |

it's for the companies to decide if they need rebranding, no-one else

So then you have to question the motives of these companies. Why would they change something that is selling well by using iconic characters (in the food selling world). Those characters gave those brands an identity that everyone was familiar with and trusted.

Yeah, like I said they've erased the non-White characters from history. Thanks for sharing that which proves me right.

Some fictional characters in life are just sacred.
I wouldn't like it if they did a new seies of Mr Bean and they erased the character played by Rowan Atkinson' out of it. It just wouldn't be the same. Last edited by Alf; 01-03-2022 at 08:10 PM. |

When people saw Uncle Ben, it made them happy because they knew that a plate full of rice was on its way.

There's even an Uncle Ben gag in an episode of Only fools and horses. That's how iconic a character he was, God bless him.

The most worrying aspect of this whole thread, is that Alf thinks Mr Bean is good entertainment.
