Yes.

Even if I did think it was a fish instead of a pig at first.

I still love the Underwood logo. I can only imagine the sheer number of Christian ultra-conservatives having palpitations in that section of the grocery store. THINK OF THE CHILDREN! ;)

when mama went through that phase, she used to either refuse to buy it, or buy it, and take it home and use a marker to color out the logo and the word "deviled" on the label.

it became "POTTED ham" when served for lunch. ;)

That's what we call it here down-under! We even have potted shrimp.

I love that logo too! But for some reason it always makes me think of paint. Is there a paint with that logo on it too? I have to try and remember!

yes, the poor dead piggie is a regretable item!

It looks like a meat rat. It's probably about the same size as well.
