Cherry Clan Wrapper

so, what’s up with Cherry Chans and Cherry Clans?

a Zumbiel Packaging artist, Gus Somers, designed the [Cherry Chan] package by hand (i.e. with a paintbrush). Naturally, it was a complete rip-off of the image and likeness of Charlie Chan.  Sal Ferrara found it amusing that Zumbiel shamelessly borrowed Charlie Chan’s image to help him sell candy… Charlie Chan’s heirs however were not quite as amused and threatened to sue Ferrara Pan if they did not cease and desist.  And so, Ferrara changed the name from Cherry Chan to Cherry Clan — which from a racist perspective was even worse than Cherry Chan.  Cherry Clan featured little squinty eyed Chinese faces wearing conical Asian hats — perhaps to imply that the candy originated in a rice paddy?  The China theme apparently did not work and the Cherry Clans faded from store shelves [and became Cherryheads]

Ching Chong Is
Wrong! Wrong! WRONG!!!!!

Ferrara Pan’s Cherry Clan boxes were kinda mostly f$%ked up racialist sh$t (but the candy was soooo delicious, and Cherryheads is such a lame name!!!)

wait, Cherry Clans were previously called Cherry Chans????  that doesn’t even make sense, and seems kinda less offensive???  and who cares if Charlie Chan was played whitewashedly by a Swede and another white dude after the Swede died, cause he’s the greatestest Asian-American detective EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

anywho, HOW THE FIJI DID THIS EGGGGGGGGGGGSIST????????

ROTS O’ RUCK ?????????????????????????????WTF??????????

secret message is: CANDY CAN BE IS RACISIMS!!!!!

ROTS O’ RUCK TO THE CREATOR OF THIS CANDY FOR TRYING TO AVOID GOING TO HELL!!!!!  HOPE YOU DIE(D) OF YELLOW FEVER AND MSG OVERDOSE!!!!

btw, Sesame Chicken Friday is not racistism, it is a celebration of Chinese-American ENDLESS AWESOMENESS!!

and sure, the Takeout font is raciallisticalism, BUT IT’S ALSO KIND OF USEFUL FOR DESIGN!!!!

moral of this non-story of racist candy boxes?

STOP THE HATE

EAT MORE SESAME CHICKEN, ESPECIALLY ON FRIDAYS

BRING BACK CHERRY CLANS BUT MAKE THEM SORTA LESS RACISITIST

BRING BACK ROTS O’ RUCK, BUT MAKE IT ABOUT ALAN RUCK!!!

ps – these are also UN-COOL…ies
