O/T uncle bens rice.

[Silly-miller]

Also uncle Ben wasn’t created by mars, the company who created uncle bens was the Converted Brand Rice company who was co-owned by Erich Huzenlaub and Gordon Harwell and was later bought out by the Mars franchise

Uncle Ben was the name of the rice grower it is a mix of 2 successful black men in the brand however the founders of the franchise were two white men who are not on the brand

LOL, you'll believe anything you read too! There may well be a back story courtesy of Uncle Ben's but its made up. There really were black rice growers, but that's about as far is it goes, the back story is a marketing creation to sell products.

Can you prove that though?
I don’t know what’s true tbh, like any other story from way back which will also have fictional/truths in them.
How can we tell unless we physically go back?

This coming from the guy who says uncle bens was made up by mars, even a child knows it was bought out by mars

Sounds to me you ether believe any protesters crap you read or hate black people being famous

I almost posted this link last night but I thought it would be funny to hold it back and see if people would still try and argue. So predictable! The question is whether with this from Uncle Ben's own website people still won't admit they are wrong.

A fair point and absolutely true the only ones who can say for certain that uncle Ben was named after a famous rice grower are Erich Huzenlaub and Gordon Harwell who I suspect are long dead as for the photo I suspect there will be a law suit from his family for the removal of that photo as it removes the recognition Frank brown made and I should think so.

What’s next erasing Michael Jackson? Nelson Mandela? Barack Obama? Samuel L Jackson? Would people still be fine if they wanted to remove Arthur Wharton from history books?

I dare say they made up some of the background but being as mars didn’t make the company they have no credibility on whether he was real or not.

I get the argument that uncle was a term given to slaves and arguably you can see how uncle Ben May have been a slave on a rice patty farm however being as they don’t know if he was real or not they changed there name to bens original which is fair enough but what grinds at me is the removal of the photo of frank brown, who’s next cornel sanders

Frankie and Benny never existed either, even though they have pictures and busts of them in the restaurants.
