First :O
How’s this a fail????
Don’t get it. Do we live in an age where black people can’t front something black, and white people can’t front something white?
“Political correctness” has gone way too far.
i agree with you Berbie but why are you replying this to a “first comment”?
Uh, check the spelling of “Vanilla”. I guess that’s supposed to be the fail here.
That’s the way “vanilla” is spelled in Spanish…
the real fail is, that the va(i)nilla girl isn´t blonde.
But she looks innocent enough
why should she be blonde? ._.
Wheres the fail?
Failblog fail, yet again….
lol umm they put the black guy on the chocolate and the white lady on the vanilla. how can you not get that.
uh, that’s not the reason, it’s that the black guy is being called “brownie”
You people didn’t see it!!!
The vanilla one says diet at the top!!!!!!!
You are trully smart!
This is in English. Not Spanish. This makes all the diffrence in the world.
The why does it say “Peruvian racist ice cream recipient…”
That’s a COLOMBIAN ice cream brand, not peruvian, althought they have frachises and exports
Colombian brownie, huh?
I guess I know what’s inside.
A$$. know i know what kid of junkie are you.
y so butthurt?? we love Colombian brownie
dude its in fn spanish.
no its a racism fail idiot there is a black guy being called brownie and a white chick is vanilla
The US is hung up on everything that shows even a hint of racial stereotyping. Most other countries can indulge in such humor and not worry about it. Not to say that they don’t have their share of racism in other countries. They just aren’t hung up on political correctness.
It syas diet at the top of the vanill “Dan”
Diet icecream! thats the fail, not some racist thing, I don’t even get that!
How in the world can you not get that? IT SAYS F…ING BROWNIE AND THERE IS A BLACK GUY UNDERNEATH!!!!
This is a fail, because the US is supposed to be living in an age where people aren’t defined by their skin color. This is racist against both ethnic groups.
lol it took me some time to notice the fail actually xD
yeah, it can’t be that the right one is bigger, you know…
they are called brownies not blakies
it has nothing to do with pc. It is funny because it is brownie flavored ice cream, so they put a black man on the front.
They tried in vain.
Yeah. Such a cold couple.
The flavors don’t match.
Things got too icy to be well blended anymore.
If ONLY he would defrost…just a little!
(she finds it so hard to spoon him, even!)
What’s the latest scoop?
They flaked out.
They couldn’t get the cone of silence to work for them, and stopped confiding in each other.
Then it bowled over, and things got messy
It was all so sweet in the beginning, but then he realized she was artificial.
First she gave him the cold shoulder. She dished to her bffs, though.
C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!!
lol good one
third o0
ffs
if Vanilla were spealt right i would call this a win.
Still, I hear the chocolate’s pretty good. You can eat it right out of the tubbs.
Sir, I applaud you.
This is from Peru. One of those places in the world where they don’t speak English. Should invade.
damn Spanish beat them to it
It’s allowed to reinvade even if the Spanish did it first.
I hear there’s historical precedent, even.
Ignorance is bliss, right?.
Mimo’s is from Colombia, as I am. And I think my english is pretty good, thank you.
So both fail to you and failblog
Before u say anything first try to educate yourself.
In Peru we know how to speak english, maybe u only speak english, and taht the reason why u post this kind of comments.
Su insulto sería más eficaz si su uso del Inglés eran competentes.
If you had put “fuese” instead of “eran” you should’ve win…but you fail
And for curry’s sake, vainilla means vanilla in spanish.
I’m not here to sneer at people who don’t know Spanish. I’m not even here to sneer at people who don’t know English (“should’ve win”?). I’m here to sneer at people who overtly claim to know a language (English) that they really don’t.
If spealt were spelt right, you would still be a fail.
Thank you! Spealt rhymes with svelte which is just one of my very favourite words.
You mean if you spelled spelt as spealt it’s still a fail? How is it supposed to be spelled? Svelte saw and felt a welt that made him melt, it was dealt with a belt.
Spelt? Isn’t that some kind of grain?
sometimes i type faster than i think. besides, i’m more of a vocabulary specialist. and i acknowledge that i have not really provided an example here you will just have to take my many large words for it.
it’s in spanish, so, you can call it a win anyway
i still do =)
Vainilla
They spelled Vanilla wrong too? They dont use an i in the UK brands anyway.
Uni Knocker?
Its spanish you turd…
there’s more ice-cream in the “diet” brand
“Vainilla” is spelled right as this is a product from a Spanish speaking country. The fail seems to be the usage of an Afro-american and a Caucasian for the chocolate / vanilla flavours.
I wonder what they would use for pistachio flavor…
Sarek?
Lol. “Vainilla” is spelled perfectly fine. This obviously isn’t an English/American brand. Want more proof? “1 Litro”
That’s just proof of a second spelling error.
RETARD
wtf, that’s a win
I have to agree. Spelling is correct for the language, and there shouldn’t be anything wrong with acknowledging skin color, so long as one is not implied to be better than the other. Why a fail?
… because they’re in trouble when they launch the pistachio flavour?
how about a water sprite?
ht tp://www.ceskatelevize.cz/specialy/arabela1/chyby/vodnik01.jpg
But people *do* have preferences between chocolate and vanilla! There can’t *help* but be an implication that one is better than another.
Now, how do they illustrate the Neapolitan?
As for the size difference, whoever bought the stuff is clearly on a diet.
FAIL from Lorito , Mimos is colombian icecream, but you can find them evrywhere in southamerica.
It says “LITRO” on it. That should be a clue that maybe this is from a non-English speaking country. Geez, some of you people…
IMO the fail is putting human faces on cartons of ice cream in the first place.
In fact “Litro/Liter” its used on most of the countries. Just USA and another country keep on using the imperial system and not the decimal.
Litre
once you’ve tasted the brownie, you’ll never go back to vanilla
Mmmmm I love chocolate
touche
so how the **** is this racist?
What a combination.
why do they need any salesperson to begin with. It’s ice cream it sells itself. I thought we moved on from this racist. All the people who don’t see the racism you are so stupid. The year is 2010 not 1810 we should have equality and respect for all people
Why is using the fact that black people are brown and white people are white racist? Is it because you prefer vanilla ice cream to chocolate ice cream?
Apparently, it is wrong to think that black people might like chocolate ice cream.
Well it is….
considering the fact most blacks haven’t tried grape ice cream…..We don’t really know if chocolate is a legitamate favourite
Ice cream that takes you around the world of…flavors.
You gotta admit that it would look even worse if they put a white man on the chocholate ice cream box…
Mimos is a colombian brand of ice cream, its very popular. I’m from Colombia and they have a ad campaign in different media where they play with the flavors and the races of people. this is not racist is just diversity.
You should see the mix flavor ads!
I’m from Colombia too … in fact, I drive by it every day!!!
Driving around Vainilla is of no avail…
Stop the violence!
No more drive bys
*holds up picket sign*
How do they do mint, or cookies n cream?
Don’t know, but I hear there’s a black guy, white girl and Native American on the Neapolitan box…
sounds like the first line of a joke……
♪ You’re so vain ♪
♫ You probably think this ice cream’s about you ♪
♪don’t chew, don’t chew♫
LOL!
You win the internets!
What if the fail is that the vanilla ice cream is named after its taste and the chocolate one is named after its color? Or do they mean that the ice cream actually tastes like the cookie “brownie”?
Would you believe me if I said yes?
That depends on your ability to say it with conviction.
YES WE CAN!!!
Ok, I believe you. On one condition: Can you get me some ice cream? Yummy and creamy, none of that “diet” crap.
None of that ‘sugar free’ crap either. As much as I watch what I eat there are things you should never compromise – ice cream is one of them.
Would you like the brownie dude or the white vainilla dudette?
Mmmm. Brownies are good!
If she said it with a rubber chicken in her hand, yep I’d believe her *nods*
Does she really need to wear the wig?
I’m not really qualified to answer that. Honestly, I don’t think I have seen a merkin IRL.
How about a pickle?
Why would she wear a pickle?
I think it’s like the ‘talking pickle’. If you’ve got a pickle in your paw, people listen.
Racist Ice Cream is racist
Racist failblog is racist and fail.
luckily, neither a racist icecream, nor a racist failblog exists…
~ everyone’s a little bit racist, sometimes… ~
I am scratching my head trying to think how some people see this as racist.
*scratches L’s head too*
I don’t see it either hun.
Little to the right please……
… the other right.
*skritchy scratches more*
Oh, that right? Thought you ment …
apparently these brownies were made with brazil nuts. You DO know what they used to be called in some places (southern states) DON’T YOU?
It´s not chocolate, it´s Afro – Vainilla!
Umm…there’s curly hair in your icecream?
no, i have the yoghurt one. It´s completely white and there´s a picture of a klansman on the package
I don’t see the racism here. I’ve heard people, both black and white, refer to races as chocolate and vanilla. It seems to be acceptable.
If you say so.
*Stops her foot*
“Sexy chocolate”
♫♪ Your love is better than ice cream
better than anything else that I’ve tried ♫♪
Actually, I’m from colombia too. The ad campaign was a blast. Some deliver truck had some attractive white people on them and said “Vanilla Gaze” While other had black people and said something like “Chocolate lips” I don’t remember exactly. And they did other flavors too, like Caramel, strawberry, etc. And (obviously) they were not race-oriented (hard to find red and gold people, really). We are a spanish speaking country, and a very diverse one. Here it was a success, and not by any chance taken as racist. Aaand FYI Mimo’s can beat the crap out of ben & jerry every day, i had them bought.
You say “Vanilla Gaze” – I say “Ice, Ice baby”.
I say “Under pressure”.
Who do they have on the strawberry, a Native American? And a Chinese on the lemon sherbet?
I think we’re getting a little silly about racism. Sometimes an ice cream carton is just an ice cream carton.
Actually, I remember the strawberry one, it was a redhead with freckles.
And YES! Mimo’s could beat the crap out of ben & Jerry’s, I also had them both and Mimo’s s delicious, and also cheaper.
I’m from Perú and I never saw this ice-cream, and in spanish we call it “vainilla” no “vanilla”
greeting
My god…
Mimo’s Ice Cream is PEOPLE!!
loooool

WILL IT BLEND
Just proves social customs are not the same the world around. I’m told the Japanese are horrified when they see TV shows and movies of ppeople wearing shoes in the house, and my Columbia Sportswear jacket would probably get me thrown in jail if I wore it in Germany. No, we are not all one.
Why would a Columbia Sportswear jacket get you thrown in jail in Germany?
Their logo looks kind of like a stylized swastika. On my jacket it’s especially noticable because of the thread spacing. It obviously is nothing nazi (the company founders in fact fled the nazi’s in the late 1930′s), but in Germany they apparently will jail you even for wearing a KISS rock band shirt because the double lightning-bolt S’es look something like the Schuttestaffel (sp?) logo. So I’m guessing they would have a cow over my jacket logo too.
i live in germany and have seen a lot of people using columbia jackets
Where they behind bars when you saw them?
Don’t see any racism here
And for pistachio ? >>> Alien Visitor ?
Wait until you see the Spumoni and Neopolitan…
spumoni – prolly a picture of a guido giving a look like
‘yo i got ya spumoni right ovah hea baby howd ya like a little taste?’
Ok so we have a black guy on there and it’s racist. Now if we don’t have a black person on there then they are still being racist. Humanity Fail!
lol this is hilarious, lighten up people !
It looks like her head’s on backwards.
Xenofobic Page Fail.
BTW, I don’t see any racism on the picture.
awww i remember eating mimo’s with my grandpa :’(
best ice cream ever. and not racist.
The banana icecream is far nicer than either of those, plus it has a pretty oriental girl on the box.
this might have been a logo fail as well. just look at that shape and tell me its not a white crap.
Maybe this isn’t ice-cream, but a skin color changing cream with creative and relevant names.
they should have at least called the other one “cracker”, to even up the score.
Mimo’s is a Colombian ice cream brand, not from Peru. Can you read the label in the part where says… made in ??
FAIL BLOG… EPIC FAIL …
Can you read the 12 hours worth of comments that mention this several times before you ever got here?
(I’m sure your browser has a “find” function if you are late to the party.)
Uo-oh, racism…
The only fail i see here is that there is an unkown wayans brother out there who is forced to do headshots for product labels because his good for nothing brothers never gave him a break and wrote a single part for him
I see just to ice cream cans I don’t see the flavor of their cover
LOL
I mean two not to
1. Mimo’s is from COLOMBIA
2. This is not racism, every flavour has it’s own character.
3. Just erase this post, Mimo’s is owned by my family
Sounds like the perfect situation. Got a hot sister?
I can only wish that the picture on the brownie flavor had been of Isaac Hayes singing about his Chocolate Salty Balls.
This could be much racially worse if the vanilla read “Whitey”
i hate people who think this is racist..
racist is when people don’t allow specifically white or black people or asian in a, for example: a restaurant. this is just totally not racist.
yep… im agree… but Americans are the most racist people in entire world…
P_P
DIET ? so what he fat?
HAHAHA Brownie…. lol
multi FAIL, political correctness FAIL measurement fail (both are 1 litre yet the vanilla is bigger), weight loss FAIL ( it says diet on the vanilla yet its the larger one) gravity FAIL (the “brownie” flavour is floating)
It’s not peruvian, is colombian.
I agree, I’m from Perú and never see that ice cream, anyway racism doesn’t exist here, “negro” is a common sobriquet and nobody turn upset by this.
The fail is the poop logo.
No es racista, y si no saben español me vale madres, en latinoamerica negros o cafes o blancos es común, ustedes los gringos son tan iguales…
…no swirl? =(
Someone’s been tactless.
Mimos is a Colombian company
calling that ice cream racist would be a vain(illa) effort.
And then they’re going to get a biracial person or someone with a really red tan and put that on their strawberry flavor.
This is f*cking retarded. Failblog, minor cultural differences do not amount to fails. They’re just using different standards. What next? An English highway with the caption “DRIVING ON THE CORRECT SIDE FAIL”?
am peruvian and in here we dont have that ice cream
lol,… brownie !
No fail here. NEXT
FAILBLOG —> FAIIIIIIL!!!..
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!
You just don’t get it do you? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=translate+vainilla+into+english
I hear they put Elton John on the rainbow sherbet tub.
LOL THE ICE CREAM SAYS VAINILLA
Personally, I don’t find this offensive. All I want to know is the rest of their flavor catalog…
They can have The Situation on the orange flavor, and Mrs. Rochester on the coconut.
What I really hope, though, is that the blueberry or blue raspberry flavor has a picture of Grand Admiral Thrawn on the tub.
HaHa well yes I saw this in “Vivanda” supermarket the other week, and I though about this page
I read and read your comments and I can’t see the FAIL here…
yeah they used a black guy in the brownie flavor, and a white girl in the vanilla one..so?
I think the real FAIL here is from FAIL blog…
There’s some jungle fever going on in that pic.
This is not a peruvian ice cream… and even though it’s from another country said something like “XXXXX racist ice cream recipient…” doesn’t sound good, you know?
i think that your commentary is more racist ..
actually i don’t see racism in those products.. you don’t know the background information about it, you don’t know who exactly their advertising is..
i think this is a FAIL
What’s a fail? I’m Australia. This is an epic win, nice vanilla
Which one to lick? I’ll stick with vanilla..
Ok, it is a Colombian Ice Cream brand, then why they don’t use just spanish, and avoid mixing Vainilla and Litro in Spanish with the word Brownie an english diminutive
Bien, es una marca de helados colombiano, entonces por que no usan solamente español, y evitan mezclar Vainilla y Litro en español con Brownie una diminutivo en ingles.
I think this is somewhat clever.
Oh, this is definitely a Fail.
