I'm not disagreeing, but the answers you came up with don't address the presentation, as presented.

Pringles: Looked this up, the name was changed in 1975 in response to an FDA ruling regarding what a potato chip is. Nothing more. That was 51 years ago. Not relevant to anything today.

Shakes: As stated, yes, they were called milkshakes and that was changed 50+ years ago. Was in response to rulings defining what a milkshake was. Generally happened about 1971. Not relevant to anything today.

Klondike: Generally changed in the 80s when purchased by a new company from Isaly's. Not relevant to anything today.

Oreo: Changed to Creme in 1948. Not relevant to anything today.

Wyngz: This happened in 2012, and was in response to chicken products not made from chicken wings. Technically, the "wings" you get in restaurants that are boneless aren't wings either.

Blueberry: My statement stands. Commercial baking products generally never use real blueberries because they don't keep and don't have a uniform flavor. Remember Blueberry Waffle-O's?

Syrup: Doesn't address the statement. AJ was never "Maple Syrup" which is a controlled name in the states. Who cares if it's "Original," "Buttery," "Rich," or other weasel words, they mean nothing.

edit: Almost forgot DQ. While the internet states that it may have been marketed as Ice Cream, it's been called "soft serve" for so long it's again - not relevant to anything today.

That is fair, I just don't like companies using sneaky language. Some countries don't consider what Subway makes as "bread" and when you look at the ingredients I tend to agree.

Also, American "chocolate" is trash and when you again. Look at the ingredients... That's why.

I don't either, but most of the things here have been in place for decades, or were due to actual rules being implemented. The Klondike bar is really the only tragedy, those used to be dipped in real milk chocolate in the 1920s. The rest of that stuff is, has been, and always will be slop.

Klondike bars were so good; Eskimo pies were the precursor and even better.

Sadly, unless you are willing to spend the time to make it yourself there are few companies that sell things that are NOT slop. It sucks.
