Well “woke” is here to stay it’s never going to end. I have my golden syrup and black treacle tins in the cupboard they won’t go anywhere until I do! My cakes and desserts and black bread will never taste the same without them.

Are you sure it is being changed "because it may offend some snowflakes", or through "woke stupidity", or could it just be that its American makers want something more up-to-date, as all brands do from time to time?

Removing the depiction of a rotting corpse from a foodstuff is a good thing.

I wonder when and where, all this 'woke' stupidity will end?

Just saw this on TV. I have a tin in my cupboard and will keep it for ever now.

I can vividly remember the day our teacher at primary school told us the story of Samson and the dead lion on the tin with bees buzzing around him.

Our little school had just 3 classrooms. I was in the middle room so it must have been about 1961/62. It was a sunny day and our teacher stood with his back to the window. The sun shone in over his head and I could see trees in the background. He held up a tin of the syrup which he had borrowed from our school kitchen and pointed out the lion. He then told us the story and I remember telling my Mum about it when I went home.

Now it’s going because it may offend some snowflakes and we are having just a lion’s face that looks like a cartoon instead.
