Department of Icelandic products that will be tough to export to the U.S.:
Separately, how does a country of 322,000 people come to have so many candy manufacturers?

In the late ’70s, a fast-food hamburger joint opened in my MA city called “Sambos,” along w/ the perfunctory tiger chasing a black boy in the printed logo. I think there were a few of them scattered about the US. At the time, it didn’t raise an eyebrow. I ate there a couple of times and, as a young teen, I was unaware of the perceived negative racial connotation. By the mid-80s they were hounded out of business.
Then there was Darkie brand toothpaste:

But the minstrel with the white teeth is now racially ambiguous.
Sambo Pancake House. The name Sambo was deemed to be racist and the book “Little Black Sambo” was taken off the children’s book shelf. The book is a delightful story of a boy in India who turns Tigers into melted butter that is served with pancakes. The pancake house had murals of scenes from the book. Too bad people didn’t read the book, they banned it on the title and character names. When the restaurant chain was attacked, my comment to my parents was that the book is based in India not Africa.
