Texas Pete, Little Debbie and the Frito Bandido are prolly all gonna go the way of the Dodo.
Someone’s always gonna be offended by something each brand represents in this day and age.

I'm offended that you would make light of an extinct species of flightless bird as the center piece for your metaphorical and purely idiomatic normalization of serious and unacceptable instances of cultural appropriation !!
"Little" Debbie ??
How is that ok?
"Little" why little? Is Debbie a child? Why would anyone exploit a child's likeness to commercialize a collection of mass produced snack pastries?
...is it so they can fat shame "little" Debbie after unexpected weight gain caused by a steady diet of synthetic sweeteners and bleached processed flour?
Maybe little Debbie is an adult suffering from dwarfism?
Who knows - Is Debbie even a female or do we find ourselves - AGAIN - assuming gender?
Texas Pete ???
What does that have to do with Hot Sauce?
For goodness sakes - it was developed and produced in Winston-Salem North Carolina...
...talk about cultural appropriation !!!!
Do you want autonomous social zones because this is how we end up with autonomous social zones !!!
With this kind of crazy its no wonder people want to change the names of our military bases...
Here's an idea - we can have "Little Infantry Center" and "Texas Airborne Post" instead of Ft Bragg and Ft Benning

No, I'm vertically challenged, the dodo was aerodynamically challenged.

Maybe it's time to rename some old universities, and maybe tear down some of their stuff.
I'm sure the puppeteers on the left would consider it just.
Apologies for wiki link, it's the most terse source I could easily find.

I stand corrected. Aerodynamically challenged it is and it shall be. So let it be written so let it be done.

And many other American brand names. It's getting ridiculous.
From my rodeo days when I worked the chutes and gates.

Submitted for your review - updated less offensive packaging for your favorite chewing tobacco....
...and yes, it will be sold on military bases previously known as Fort OffensiveDeadGuy

Looks like the NDAA includes a 3-year timeline for base name changes.
We'll see if it gets hit with Veto.

I thought the entire point was to NOT have bases named after enemies of the state?

"The Pentagon is moving forward with plans to rename military bases that honor the Confederacy, naming half of the panel charged with leading the effort.......
They will serve on the ponderously-named Commission on the Naming of Items of the Department of Defense that Commemorate the Confederate States of America or Any Person Who Served Voluntarily with the Confederate States of America......"
