You used to eat N*gga Babies? My mom told me she had them in the 1960s and 1970s when she was a kid. They were somewhat of a sister candy to Sugar Babies I guess, or maybe just a copycat produced by another company. Similar enough to a Sugar Baby but the caramel was chocolate infused. I wouldn’t think they’d still be selling them in the 2000s, unless they renamed them to something racist but a little less racist like…Coon Babies? Colored Babies? Oh, there were Gollywogs, something that was sold in Europe and Australia more than North America. You might be talking about them or Redmen or something, who’ve both changed their names now. Brigham’s had a Just Jimmies ice cream flavor renamed to Just Sprinkles because someone had a lose theory that New Englanders call those oval shaped sprinkles (especially the chocolate ones) after Jim Crow. There’s really been no solid proof we call them Jimmies because of Jim Crow, but I guess Brigham wanted to play it safe. But my household still calls it Just Jimmies.
It’s okay. I still peruse reddit sometimes because the subs here aren’t sufficient enough. Also, reddit has more variety. Lemmy is a bit too political. Like /c/news seems to only post political stuff. And it’s mostly liberal leaning (which I am), but too liberal occasionally. People hate nazis here but curiously, they also hate Israel. I’m looking for more communities that are less intense and charged. Stuff about crafting, plant rearing, literature, etc. The other big fediverse site, Mastodon, has a similar prevalence of charged stuff, but I’ve found a bit more silly things both on my own and with suggestions over there. I suppose I could start some new communities here but I’m doubtful I have the fortitude to make them get increased traction.
