Out in a small town in Texas, a new restaurant was named Pepperbellies. While I had not heard the term, my dad was horrified since he knew it as a derogatory term for Hispanics. There is a heavy Hispanic population in the town so I'd love to know what they think.

This made me think of a friend that calls the Cracker Barrel the Honkey Bucket. Cracks me up.

my dad knows one of the higher-ups in the company. i've been trying to use that connection to figure out how to get coupons for free meals, so far it hasn't worked. i'd be happy to see if i can get you a contact name or number if you want though. -liz

That is offensive - I'm curious who made the decision to call it Sweet Tomatoes in Colorado, and why. There's a place on South Broadway that's offended me ever since I can remember - it's the Wife Savor Laundromat. I can't drive by without throwing up a little.

I'd much rather eat at a place called Sweet Tomatoes than Souplantation. I'm sure if I saw a Souplantation jokes would just start flowing with my friends. Like, "Let's go see what their minimum wage is, if they even get paid." I can't think of any offensive company names right now though, sorry.

It's Souplantation out here. Sweet Tomatoes sounds like someplace I might actually be willing to go to!

At the Stone Mtn Theme Park outside of Atlanta there is a "ride" called the Antebellum Plantation and Farmyard that features . . . well check it out yourself:

No mention of slavery. Its the sort of Disney version. I've never visted there. The selective memory of history is just too

I've never heard of Sweet Tomatoes. It's Souplantation here. Honestly, I never thought about how bad the name is. I suppose it does match the shitty food.

They're not company names, but Cheese Nips and Caramel Nips have always made me uncomfortable.
