In June, shortly after Quaker announced that it would be changing the name of its famous Aunt Jemima pancake brand, the company Dreyer’s said it would be renaming its famous Eskimo Pie to something less “derogatory.” On Monday, the company revealed the new name for its beloved ice cream product: Edy’s Pie.

“After more than 100 years, Dreyer’s is changing its popular Eskimo Pie ice cream bar to Edy’s Pie. The new name was announced by the brand Monday,” reported Fox Business. “After months of discussion, the brand decided on Edy’s Pie, named after one of the company’s founders, Joseph Edy. The chocolate-coated ice cream bar will be available under its new name early next year.”
