  1. The artist was a Native American, below is from his son:

    After I was born in 1946, my family moved from Red Lake, Minn., to Minneapolis, where my father broke racial barriers by establishing himself as an American Indian commercial artist in an art world dominated by white executives and artists. In addition to the Mia redesign, his many projects included creating the Hamm’s Beer bear. By often working with Native American imagery, he maintained a connection to his identity.
    I was 8 years old when I met Mia. My father often brought his work home, and Mia was one of many commercial-art images I saw him work on in his studio.
    With the redesign, my father made Mia’s Native American connections more specific. He changed the beadwork designs on her dress by adding floral motifs that are common in Ojibwe art. He added two points of wooded shoreline to the lake that had often been depicted in the image’s background. It was a place any Red Lake tribal citizen would recognize as the Narrows, where Lower Red Lake and Upper Red Lake meet.

  3. Since Land O Lakes made the change I haven’t bought any butter from them (after pretty much buying their product for many many years). I buy generic from whatever store I go to now.

    lather, rinse, repeat

  9. Too bad. I liked that butter and it was a beautiful image. So glad to hear the story of the Native American artist. I buy Kerry Gold Pure Irish Butter, from Irish ☘️ grass fed cows — as a tribute to my dads roots. It only has a picture of a “grass fed” cow on the package. Waiting for PETA to catch on and screw things up.

  10. @Redgrandma I started buying Kerry Gold to use in my butter coffee, after I tried numerous others, just to see if there was a difference. YEP! That is the sweetest creamiest butter of the 5 or so that I tested. Finally started getting the unsalted so I can add in my preferred amount of sea salt with each cup. Great stuff.

  12. When we were kids you could cut her knees off and make a flap out of the box of butter she was holding and tape the knees on the back aligned with the flap. They got rid of the knees several years ago. Anybody remember doing that?

  13. Thanks Gunny. That is great info!

    Groucho Marxist, that is not syrup. If we ever meet I’ll bring some Maine syrup for you. Light amber is a good one to wean off corn syrup.
    Although as a kid my father preferred Mrs. Buttersworth which has also been erased.

    Hey BFH, how about a post with the histories of these erased people from products?

  17. Oh no, the Saint Pauli Girl beer is running afoul of predetermined gender identification and exposed cleavage. I’m so traumatized and offended, I’m gonna have to start drinking.
