Pascall reveal brand new name for iconic Eskimo lollies
Publish Date Friday, 12 March 2021, 1:50PM
New Zealand s Pascall Eskimos lolly has changed its name to Explorers after global pressure around the derogatory term eskimo in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests.
In 2009, Canadian tourist Seeka Lee Veevee Parsons, an Inuit of the Nunavut Territory in Canada, came across the lolly in New Zealand and said the product was an insult.
The complaint prompted New Zealand s high commissioner at the time to comment in the Canadian press.
Some Kiwis then suggested the tourist should go home which led New Zealand s high commissioner in Ottawa at the time, Kate Lackey, saying the name had a rednecky element to it.
