It’ weird that I didn’t hear about the boob flap fifty years ago when I could have used it.

No kidding. First time I’ve ever heard of it as well.

It appears it pissed you off because someone doesn’t agree with a company being bullied by political correctness.
So one would have to assume your in favor of it.

not pissed at all. Far from it, in fact. I wish i had the time or energy to get worked up about the marketing moves a butter company makes. But keep making those assumptions.

I took no position about the merits of the change. But rather am commenting on the faux outrage that a private company dare make a change like this because they were pressured into it.

Meh, their butter ain't all that great anyway...

are you implying that maybe you don't buy your butter based on the packaging?

Yep...

What's next? How 'bout Big Chief writing pads or Indian motorcycles? We gotta give Little Debbie the axe cuz they are misogynist? It's utterly ridiculous.

 

[SlugSlinger]

Is this racist?

Evidently my butter has been politically corrected.
Here I am with packaging intact and I can’t do the boob flap.
