Mrs. Dash is Now Just Dash

[spongella]

Went to buy some Mrs. Dash seasoning yesterday and couldn't find any, so I bought a product that I thought was similar and it is called "Dash." Come to find out the company removed the "Mrs" from the original product last February. When will this nonsense end?

Good grief.

Mrs. Dash seasoning brand drops 'Mrs.' from its name

Apparently, Mrs. Dash is now a single woman.

Some of the comments on that article are hilarious.

I also just found out about this recently, but why nonsense? Am I missing something and something is wrong with the fact that companies are renaming something?

Yeah, it's called "political corretness."

I think, if they wanted to change the name, it should have been at least Dash's, not Dash. The human component/factor associated with the product is now gone. Besides, Dash is the name of a laundry detergent.

"Correctness," even!

Could have just called it Ms Dash. Maybe still too sexist.

Cowardliness and coercion work too.

They want to make it gender neutral for millenials

Maybe "Elevated Amounts of Sodium" didn't track well with the Focus Groups... Sorry, but I tried this once decades ago and just decided to stick with separate spices and herbs.
