@Migros, did you have to do that too?

@Migros, musste das auch noch sein?

Migros has deleted a picture of a "Mexican" from a water ice pack. https://www.20min.ch/story/wir-machen-unsere-kultur-durch-unsere-ueberkorrektheit-kaputt-320379406945 All this is taking on unpleasant characteristics that I find very worrying. What's next on the censorship list? I agree with this 1000%: "We are destroying our "German-speaking" culture through our over-correctness" - see also the Winnetoubuch debate in August.

Wokeness has also arrived at Migros. But then again, the stereotypical cowboy look is ok 🤣 Especially what's with the strange nose in the picture? What did a user write on 20 Minuten "put everything in neutral paper and write what's in it" Then hopefully no one will feel dabbed and stepped on. Although, white paper would probably be a problem again.

Time for new branding, "Alp Öhi" ice cream with a traditional costume and a Landauerli, hopefully nobody will complain anymore... ok maybe because of the Landauerli, ääääächz😆

Lindauerli 😉 No, you can't ☝️ Smoking is unhealthy, it doesn't go on ice cream packaging 🤣

The question is whether it actually has anything to do with Wokeness. The old box didn't have the NutriScore, but the new packaging does. When revising the design in the course of introducing the NutriScore, the question was probably asked as to why the decision was made to depict Mexicans when the product is called COWBOY...

Hello rollimaus, thank you very much for your contribution, which I am happy to respond to. The 20 Minuten article presents the facts very inaccurately. The new packaging design for Cowboy Glacé was rolled out in summer 2021. The fact that packaging is regularly reviewed, assessed and adapted is a completely normal process. Nutriscore was introduced for this product in summer 2021, so the opportunity was also taken to revise the packaging design. For example, the rifle and bottle were replaced by lassos and one figure was replaced by another cowboy - the ice cream is called "Cowboy" after all. As already mentioned, this change took place in summer 2021, in the middle of the ice cream season. As we had not received any negative feedback on the new packaging design by the time the 20 Minuten article was published, we assume that our customers like the new design. Kind regards, Marc

You're right Lindauerli! 😆

Lucky Luke comes to mind, who used to have a cig in his mouth all the time, which was later replaced by a blade of grass. I wonder how many children became smokers because of Lucky Luke with a cig...., at least not me.

NutriScore? You mean nutritional labelling 😎 Do I understand correctly that there is a water ice called Cowboy that has a picture of a Mexican (how do you recognize a Mexican?!? By the hat? 🤣) on the packaging? When I think about where and under what circumstances the cowboys lived, I wonder how they managed to get the water ice right. There's obviously nothing wrong with this Migro product.

Well, you could also ask, what's a Mexican doing on an ice cream? You can depict the flavor (fruit, cocoa or whatever) or put an animal on it, but that's actually stupid too. It should have what's inside!
