Call it racism, call it crazy, but this is very interesting to see. Disney uses their princesses to sell everything; but this is some mess about to blow up.
As you can see, Princess Tiana is on the Watermelon packet, and Aurora is on the Vanilla one. Again, this could be a honest mistake or sorts, but you can't deny the issues around this.
Most folks know that Watermelon has been a negative racial issue for Blacks for years. I would've thought Disney would know that. And then pairing these two together? Hopefully, somebody realized this and at least, talked about... I hope.

I work for the company and it has been addressed!
That's great to hear
I feel the well educated would over look this and think about the benefits of watermelon. Watermelon is very healthy for you. This comment is not a put down.
I'm just glad they don't sell fried chicken flavored candy! Goodness!
