The Laughing Cow cheese brand is ditching its famous cackling cattle emblem for a brooding bovine one. The new campaign features a ‘Not Laughing’ cow logo with the tagline ‘We need to talk.’ The online community is unsure how to take the switch and is worried we are in for another woke lecture.
Here’s more on the marketing moooooove. (READ)
The Laughing Cow has changed its famous mascot for a new campaign, replacing the smile she’s had for generations with a completely serious expression and the message, “We need to talk.”

The company is keeping the reason behind the change a mystery for now, saying the cow will… pic.twitter.com/L41zyeW0Gr
(post continues) ...explain what’s going on “when she’s ready.”
I’m actually curious where they’re going with this because companies don’t randomly mess with a mascot that recognizable after all these years.
Hopefully it’s just some clever marketing campaign and they’re not about to give the Laughing Cow a complete personality makeover and make her woke. I guess we’ll find out soon enough. 👀

The Laughing Cow is trying to milk this intrigue for all its worth.
Posters are apprehensive. They’ve seen companies trash their brand and history with ill-conceived woke marketing gimmicks and ridiculous rebranding campaigns: Bud Light, Jaguar, and Cracker Barrel, to name a few.
AKA -- Another formerly successful company about to slide down the "Woke Stupid PR Rathole."

AWFL, so 96% chance its a precursor to some shrewish leftist lecture...they're going vegan to protest climate change or something. Or they're switching to cheddar because their cheese is too white.

Oh boy, she must have had some girls over for wine out in the pergola. “Well what about your logo? How can you laugh at a time like this…(fill your desired event here) What message are you sending, Jamee?” “You are right Karen, I’m going to change that right now!”

Nothing screams somber seriousness like soft cheese.
Commenters are not bullish for the future reveal, especially if it’s gender-related.
I hope they're not sourcing their "milk" from transgender bulls that identify as cows...

"That cheese wasn't made with milk... I'm sorry you had to find out this way."
I hope they're not going to try to tell us the laughing cow is really a bull. Milk from a bull is not the same as milk from a cow, just ask Tim Walz.

Spoiler Alert: The Laughing Cow is t r a n s.

That's why "she" is no longer laughing.
You're welcome.
That would make their lively livestock into a loathsome laughingstock. Please don’t do this.
Others say the logo switch is possibly promoting mental health awareness.
My guess is this will be a mental health awareness campaign, which if it is, good on 'em. Depression can hit you no matter what your political stripes are.

So, now the mascots for cheese have depression & mental illness.

Sour milk makes horrible cheese.
Posters hope the company is not kowtowing to Karens.
Nothing more female than saying "we need to talk" then not saying sh** and then saying "we'll talk when I'm ready."

If you really cared, Bridget, you'd already know what she wants to talk about.

It's like you don't even know her anymore! You've grown distant!

Should they just change the brand to “The Nagging Cow”?

Can't wait for my cheese to tell me "You Know What You Did."

Can’t even open the fridge without snack cheeses giving us grief.
The memes are already starting.
Can we name her Karen? pic.twitter.com/QJcRsgmdtC

This better not be some asinine ad for a new woke cheese called ‘Brie Palestine!’
