The owner of Eskimo Pie treats said it would change the name of the nearly century-old ice cream brand because the term is derogatory, following similar moves this week by the makers of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben’s.

Someone on this forum called this a few days ago. I always thought it just referenced something cold?

Can't remember the last time I bought Eskimo pies, but I sure won't be rushing out to buy any now.
