Disney Posts a 'Healthy Gumbo' Recipe and Offends Louisianans Everywhere

A seemingly innocent video recipe post by Disney for a gumbo — to tie in with the New Orleans-based animated film The Princess and the Frog — has drawn criticism on social media. Disney has since taken down the video, but the internet has not forgotten. The recipe was criticized for "its use of kale, quinoa and its lack of a roux".

The hashtag #GumboStrong has begun circulating on social media to express negative sentiments towards the video.

They are available for a limited time at participating Walmart locations. The rest of the Hershey's candy lineup has also joined the party with birthday-themed Kit Kats, Jolly Ranchers, and Twizzlers.
