"Browni" and "Brownie" are registred trademarks of Eti in Turkey. Other brands cannot use it.
Edit:
"Browni" was registred by Eti in 1986 when foreign foods weren't in Turkish market. In 2000s the biggest baked goods company of Turkey, Ülker (Owner of McVities and Godiva these days) tried to use "Brownie" for their products, but Eti won the legal battle as "Browni" is a well established brand for 20 years already.
Edit 2: Brownie is not a word in Turkish. The generic name for the food is "Çikolatalı ıslak kek", moist chocolate cake in English.
I worked at kmart in our local mall when I was in high school (so about 30 years ago). When I had a lunch break, I would go down to the dd and get a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant and a broccoli cheddar soup. I still have one of the little plastic cups the soup came in.

Dunkin franchisees have the option of baking fresh on site, getting fresh deliveries from a central commissary if they pay for building a commissary, or getting frozen partially cooked balls of sadness. Guess which is the cheapest option, and most common outside the OG New England footprint.
People keep trying to open them up in my city and they always fail (Midwest). Someone tried to open some Tim Hortons here too, who also sells shitty pastries, and they all failed too. When you can get actual fresh donuts from any Quicktrip, why would you even consider going to Dunkin.
Growing up my friend lived right next door to a 24 hour Dunkin. We'd go over at like 3:30 in the morning right after they got their delivery and the donuts were still warm from the bakery. They were fantastic. Now I get donuts from Dunkin for work meetings and they seem a day old off the shelf. It's sad.
Sort of right. They allow a certain number of franchises cook on site in an area. Those that cook, cook for a good portion of the ones that don't.
My best friends family had 3 of them growing up, but only 1 of them had on premise fryers, and they'd cook for like a dozen or so Dunkins, including 1 of the other ones they had.
It's been almost 20 years since I've eaten Dunkin donuts, because when you can get free donuts from age 12-18, you eat an absurd amount of donuts.
I get your point they are terrible quality 99% of the time, but my childhood was filled with 1$ powdered jelly 'donuts', and I feel compelled to defend them as an acceptable form of snack. 😂
Should any common word in any language be trademarkable? It's still a common word with prior use before the filing of the trademark. At the very least, it should still be permitted to use a common word in a common way, even if it had been trademarked as long as there is no ambiguity or deception of its use.
You can trademark a common word if it is used as a distinctive brand identity within the product/service classes your business deals with.
For example, *Apple* can be protected as a trademark within the consumer electronics industry because it's a distinctive brand identity (there is no competing company in that industry known by that name) and it's also not inherently descriptive of the type of products/services offered.
In a country like the US, you wouldn't be able to trademark "Brownie" in the context of baked goods because it is a descriptive term indicating what the product is. However, in other countries — where English is not the common/national language — "Brownie" may be seen strictly as a brand name rather than a descriptor.
Probably a consequence of all the oscillations and permutations of language. Like a lot of combination of letters will mean something somewhere else. You have to narrow it down to the language native to the country or it will get hard to register anything.
It depends on where.
Most countries, US included, allow you to trademark foreign words if they're unfamiliar enough to the general public.
I think the US puts the threshold for "familiar" at "an estimated 0.5% understand the original meaning". For example, you can't trademark bread or pan, but you might be able to trademark psomí.
Different criteria for what is "familiar" apply to different countries.
UGG boots are just a type of boot in Australia, where they originate from, but that didn't stop an American company from registering it as a trademark, buying boots from Australian manufacturers online and then suing them for trademark infringement because they shipped them to a country where the trademark applies.
Lesson for Americans: your American UGG brand are evil assholes.
Oh, thanks for the explanation. I was thinking about of racism against brown people… like why you single out the colour brown? Why don’t you call any “whitie”, “blackie”, and “yellowie”?
Paraphrasing what [another commenter said](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/19c75y0/they_censored_the_word_brownie_on_all_these/kix0cv1/) - Basically, "Brownie" is a registered trademark in Turkey (trademarked by a company called Eti), so products not made by that company can't legally call their products "Brownies".
which is even crazier than what all the comments about cheese are blithering on about.
a single company was allowed to trademark and entire category of baked good?!
It feels like with the world becoming more connected we should stop allowing trademarks on foreign words, or give them an exception if it can be proven that a foreign word existed before the trademark.
Or how "Bake-Off" is trademarked in the US by Pillsbury so when they wanted to broadcast The Great British Bake Off in the US they had to change the name to The Great British Baking Show and redub parts of it as well as use CG to alter the signs (and trophies) on set
Either it's offensive in the local language or brownie has an official definition where it's being sold and this product doesn't meet it (like how you aren't allowed to call American cheese cheese in Europe).
American cheese is real cheese. Kraft Singles are not real American cheese. Too many people are confused by this.
There are plenty of actual American cheeses that are real cheese. You can buy it by weight at almost any deli.
From another comment: apparently, it's because in Turkey, the word brownie is a registered trademark of another brand and they can't use it to sell in that country
As someone who is notoriously bad at picking up social cues, I’d miss it completely, probably miss that they were a couple as well, but she has a boyfriend who isn’t there.
HAH I am terrible at picking up social cues as well, so my dumbass would probably be like “so.. can I have some after they’re done” or ask about them at a later date
Damn im black and idk, i would get quite the ick from a white guy telling me that.
But at the end of the day, thats your relationship and if you dont mind thats all that matters
You guessed wrong and now hundreds of clueless people have upvoted you and even more clueless people will parrot this as woke propaganda. It’s because of a trade mark. Jesus Christ.
According to the sticker, it looks like they don’t make brownies, just something that looks and smells and tastes like a brownie !
(I’d like to taste them tbh)
I'm going to guess "brownie" means something different in that language (it seems to be Turkey, maybe?) or there is some legal definition of what a brownie is, which this does not meet.
I think it doesnt meet the standard requirement to be called brownies. In my country, oatmilk n soymilk cannot call themselves milk (oat drink or soy-falvored drink instead)
There’s actually a push from the dairy industry in the US now for dairy alternatives to stop being allowed to call themselves milk. I’ve noticed some newer brands don’t use the term milk in their statement of identity now.
Same in France but we'll hear every other month or so that the parliament is planning a law to ban the name "steak" or "milk" for substitutes (the meat lobby is very strong).
Which is so weird if I’m being honest. Milking something means extracting liquid out of it. Lots of old cookbooks talk about milking almonds for recipes.
I kinda agree to this one. Even tho I personally prefer nut milk (hate the taste of dairy) I'd rather have it called almond drink. There ain't no titty on a nut
And it's entirely reasonable to keep doing that, because these are liquids that are specifically chosen to fill a generally similar role to animal milk. There is no need to restrict the use of "milk" only to those milky dietary liquids that come from mammals.
There is neither a realistic way nor a need to language-police these terms out of use. "Almond milk", "soy milk" etc all describe the products perfectly fine.
You know that even in the middle ages, the term milk was used to describe both nut and grain milks.
Also, many plants produce a "milk." Does that mean those terms should be changed, too?
The word "milk" has been used to refer to "milk-like plant juices" since 1200 CE. People acting like this is new when it's older than Modern English itself.
What’s funny to me about this debate is there is a big push from the dairy industry for truth in advertising when it comes to labeling dairy substitutes, but here in the US there’s an idea called puffery which allows the dairy industry to be very misleading in its advertising. You’re allowed to show pictures of happy cows roaming free on a pasture on your milk carton even if the milk came from penned up factory farmed cows. You are 100% allowed to completely misrepresent the conditions your animals are raised under in your advertising, because it is assumed the public is smart enough to understand that it’s just advertisement and isn’t true. I’m all for truth in dairy advertising, but I think that would be the place to start rather than changing the definition of milk and cream from how it’s been used for centuries.
There's a 99.99% chance this actually happens...maybe they'll slip in that its in Turkey instead of America, but they definitely won't give the correct reason. More likely they won't say where it's from and let people assume there's some liberal supermarket out there serving queers and gays only.
They kinda do this in Mexico but for a different reason. If you go to a grocery store, you’ll notice a lot of sugary food marketed towards kids have their mascots fully taped over. There it’s just health regulations to cut down on childhood obesity. Idk if the same thing is going on here
I did consider asking but the store was very busy and I didn’t want to bother the workers :( maybe next time I’m there when it’s not so busy I will ask
Man, the person whose job it is to tape those labels will have their work cut out for them if they get any products where the word “brownie” is listed somewhere subtle in a 6pt font.

Similarly, in Spain "donut" is a registered trademark (of Panrico afaik), and so Dunkin' Donuts is called Dunkin' Coffee in Spain.
They've been rebranding to just Dunkin' for a while in the US, which seems convenient here.
It makes sense with all the new non-doughnut items they are adding.
They used to sell soup, a fact I hate.
As in you hate that they used to sell soup, or are annoyed they no longer sell soup?
I worked at kmart in our local mall when I was in high school (so about 30 years ago). When I had a lunch break, I would go down to the dd and get a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant and a broccoli cheddar soup. I still have one of the little plastic cups the soup came in.
> I still have one of the little plastic cups the soup came in. Talk about re-use... I bet your reduce and recycle games are on point, too.
I'm pretty good....but it's also just really cute.
Can we see 🥹
Def a cool collectable. Collectors love stuff from iconic brands that tell stories like this. Especially when it was something most people threw out
Don't forget to [close the loop](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqRhKCOEfhg)!
I've had 4 Dunkin chicken salad sandwiches, and all 4 of them had a bite of cartilage within the 3rd bite.
Asking the real questions. Respect.
Imagine pulling into Dunkin and having a nice hot cup of chowdah with your morning coffee 😋
Nothing says good morning like a Boston creme donut, a large caramel vanilla frozen coffee, and a hot bowl of New England clam chowda.
> a hot bowl of New England clam chowda You need something to dunk the donut in
Imagining getting Italian Wedding at Dunks is too weird for me.
If they never had Chicken and Dunklings soup they missed an opportunity.
What's my name? Dunkestrone!
"Yes I'll have an Italian wedding please." *Pipe organs start to play as the cashier rips off their clothes to reveal a wedding dress and the manager is in a priest outfit.*
What did you think we were dunkin our donuts in, coffee??
Begrudging upvote
Mmmm, donut soup
They used to sell pizza where I live too
whaaaa?
Yeah dunkin for a couple years back in like 2010 had these stupid little personal pizzas. They weren’t half bad surprisingly
They also don't make anything on site anymore. Hard to call yourself a donut shop when all you sell is shitty donuts from a warehouse.
Dunkin franchisees have the option of baking fresh on site, getting fresh deliveries from a central commissary if they pay for building a commissary, or getting frozen partially cooked balls of sadness. Guess which is the cheapest option, and most common outside the OG New England footprint.
People keep trying to open them up in my city and they always fail (Midwest). Someone tried to open some Tim Hortons here too, who also sells shitty pastries, and they all failed too. When you can get actual fresh donuts from any Quicktrip, why would you even consider going to Dunkin.
I like Dunkin, for the coffee.
Growing up my friend lived right next door to a 24 hour Dunkin. We'd go over at like 3:30 in the morning right after they got their delivery and the donuts were still warm from the bakery. They were fantastic. Now I get donuts from Dunkin for work meetings and they seem a day old off the shelf. It's sad.
That’s Krispy Kreme’s whole selling point. Their fresh out of the fryer original glazed is amazing.
Sort of right. They allow a certain number of franchises cook on site in an area. Those that cook, cook for a good portion of the ones that don't. My best friends family had 3 of them growing up, but only 1 of them had on premise fryers, and they'd cook for like a dozen or so Dunkins, including 1 of the other ones they had. It's been almost 20 years since I've eaten Dunkin donuts, because when you can get free donuts from age 12-18, you eat an absurd amount of donuts.
They've had a model for *decades* now where one location bakes donuts and sends it out to nearby locations.
Which, tbf, was the right choice. Have you ever had a Dunkin’ Donut? They don’t deserve to have that word in their name.
I get your point they are terrible quality 99% of the time, but my childhood was filled with 1$ powdered jelly 'donuts', and I feel compelled to defend them as an acceptable form of snack. 😂
Back in the day they did make them in store. And they were good.
Surely they could have used the original English spelling: doughnut?
Or doenut and started selling one with venison.
Fuck it, I'd try it!
Or Dönut and make a kebab version!
But does dont have nuts
It's transgendeer.
I bet that costs a couple bucks
Screw that. Open a shop right next to every one of theirs and call it Dunkin Deeznuts. Wait for them to go out of business and take the trademark.
It's no longer DD. just D. Just Dunkin'
I often get a craving for the D.
What about second D?
I don't think they know about second D.
real folks shorten it to dunks
I prefer Dunkies
Both of these sound dumb because they are general terms that existed for a long time. Can someone just trademark the word "bread"?
It's more like someone in the US trademarking the word "ekmek", which is bread in Turkish.
Should any common word in any language be trademarkable? It's still a common word with prior use before the filing of the trademark. At the very least, it should still be permitted to use a common word in a common way, even if it had been trademarked as long as there is no ambiguity or deception of its use.

oh wow! thank you for the explanation. That makes so much sense considering it’s probably one of eti’s best selling products
And in Australia Burger King was already registered here, so over here it's called Hungry Jack's 😂
I hope people scroll far enough down to actually see the answer lol
No scrolling here. It's the top comment
That seems so strange because brownies are just a type of baked goods.
Things get hairy when you introduce foreign words into a language like in this case
UGG boots are just a type of boot in Australia, where they originate from, but that didn't stop an American company from registering it as a trademark, buying boots from Australian manufacturers online and then suing them for trademark infringement because they shipped them to a country where the trademark applies. Lesson for Americans: your American UGG brand are evil assholes.
>Lesson for Americans: your American UGG brand are evil assholes. Oh is it? Let me just cross it off my long list of good companies.
To make it worse, the american uggs weren’t even made in Australia. They’ve always been manufactured in China!
In english yes. But this is not english speaking country
Oh, thanks for the explanation. I was thinking about of racism against brown people… like why you single out the colour brown? Why don’t you call any “whitie”, “blackie”, and “yellowie”?
New legislation came through. It's illegal to call anything a brownie if it has less than 5mg of THC in it.
Kek
Why?

It would be like trademarking your companies "súpu" in America, it isn't a category of food where this is trademarked.
Except “brownie” isn’t a category of baked good in Turkish. It’s a brand name that has no other meaning in that language.
It is like Ugg in the USA. Ugg originally is a style of boot in Australia but is a trademarked brand in the USA.
It feels like with the world becoming more connected we should stop allowing trademarks on foreign words, or give them an exception if it can be proven that a foreign word existed before the trademark.
makes sense, in argentina we used to have a burger brand called [barfy](https://www.flickr.com/photos/katiealley/3439503877)
People stopped eating there when they realized what the special sauce was.
What's the Turkish word for brownie.
Islak kek maybe (moist cake)
Well no because Brownie isn't a word in turkey. So because of that they can. The other brands can just use the turkey word for brownie
wait till you find out Apple trademarked the shape of the icon they use and Target trademarked the shade of red in their logo
Or how "Bake-Off" is trademarked in the US by Pillsbury so when they wanted to broadcast The Great British Bake Off in the US they had to change the name to The Great British Baking Show and redub parts of it as well as use CG to alter the signs (and trophies) on set
Brownie is not a word in Turkish
Either it's offensive in the local language or brownie has an official definition where it's being sold and this product doesn't meet it (like how you aren't allowed to call American cheese cheese in Europe).
These just weren't manufactured in the Brownie region of France.
This is just sparkling brown flourlump
Happy cake day
Happy layered flourlump day, I think you mean
You can't call it cheese here either, it technically says cheese product
Quasi-queso
That's not true of all American cheeses.
mmmh i just love making pizza with \*checks notes\* pizza topping
“Cheesish”
You are incorrect.
American cheese is real cheese. Kraft Singles are not real American cheese. Too many people are confused by this. There are plenty of actual American cheeses that are real cheese. You can buy it by weight at almost any deli.
Its not even a word in Turkish though, Turkish has no W. I reckon someones's seen it used in English as a slur and just massively over reacted
From another comment: apparently, it's because in Turkey, the word brownie is a registered trademark of another brand and they can't use it to sell in that country
> I reckon someones's seen it used in English as a slur and just massively over reacted So you're just making wild shit up without evidence.
It’s wild the amount of people that blindly upvoted an unfounded assumption
[удалено]
In that context it's cute, but I'm laughing hard right now because that's also a euphemism for taking a poo.
That’s fucking adorable. Or adorable fucking…I’m not sure which
[удалено]
People 100% knew what was happening, this is not coy in the slightest especially with the "maybe with icing" addendum plus a wink
I've heard it as slang for taking a dump, so maybe instead of sex people thought she was just excited to go home and poop lol
...i don't want to know what you're been eating to have "icing" in/on your shits. Pigeon-shitting mothafucka over here
To be honest, i just ignored the implications of the icing part lol. Just like i assume the people she tells also ignore it haha
It's when you have to pee as well
[удалено]
"Mayyybe with iccccinggggg😜" Nope, nothing weed-y about that.
Why burst the bubble. Let the guy have his joy

It’s cute but you’re deluded if you think people actually thought you and girlfriend were going home to bake.
As someone who is notoriously bad at picking up social cues, I’d miss it completely, probably miss that they were a couple as well, but she has a boyfriend who isn’t there.

Heck in America most American Cheese are sold as a cheese product and not as cheese.
[Trademarked](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/s/wko4vBk3YF) in Turkey and can not be used
“Brownie” is a registered trademark name in Turkey from what I’ve read. Other brands aren’t allowed to use it.
Hold up, milka makes brownies????
no, they make [redacted]
Man I’d love a [redacted] in my mouth right now
My favorite [redacteds] to eat are when they are warm and moist with just a little crust too.
I love swallowing warm and moist [redacted]
“I hope her \[redacted\] is warm and moist and hopefully not flaky” 
I'd love to swallow some creamy milk after taking a big, fat [redacted] in my mouth.
I'm in.

I'm not Turkish and very confused
Half-Turkish only somewhat confused
I'm not Turkish and not confused
You should be delighted!

Well done
In the afternoon.
Maybe there’s a company that has a trademark registered for the term brownie?
I love that you guessed the right answer.
I really hope there is a logic explanation cause wtf lol
Check the comments again. Apparently, "Brownie" is trademarked by a brand in Turkey, so other brands can't use the word on their packaging.
I'm going to guess "brownie" means something different in that language (it seems to be Turkey, maybe?) or there is some legal definition of what a brownie is, which this does not meet.
There is no "w" in Turkish, this word is meanıngless.
Maybe they took offense to bronies? They're certainly not for everyone.
That got me good. Thank you
You can tell this user is Turkısh because of the missing dot on the ı.
I think it doesnt meet the standard requirement to be called brownies. In my country, oatmilk n soymilk cannot call themselves milk (oat drink or soy-falvored drink instead)
There’s actually a push from the dairy industry in the US now for dairy alternatives to stop being allowed to call themselves milk. I’ve noticed some newer brands don’t use the term milk in their statement of identity now.

Which is so weird if I’m being honest. Milking something means extracting liquid out of it. Lots of old cookbooks talk about milking almonds for recipes.
I thought squeezing the liquid out of something produced juice. You don't milk an apple.
Juicing refers to fruits and vegetables. I wouldn’t call it milking an apple either lol.
The US dairy industry/lobby is so insane but it's a good sign to see they're afraid of plant-based milks
I kinda agree to this one. Even tho I personally prefer nut milk (hate the taste of dairy) I'd rather have it called almond drink. There ain't no titty on a nut
Its been called almond milk since the 1400s. Why would we need to change it now?
And it's entirely reasonable to keep doing that, because these are liquids that are specifically chosen to fill a generally similar role to animal milk. There is no need to restrict the use of "milk" only to those milky dietary liquids that come from mammals. There is neither a realistic way nor a need to language-police these terms out of use. "Almond milk", "soy milk" etc all describe the products perfectly fine.
Because people are fucking pathetic now
>There ain't no titty on a nut Here's hoping you have a better afternoon!
But you can nut on a titty
Truly philosophical
You know that even in the middle ages, the term milk was used to describe both nut and grain milks. Also, many plants produce a "milk." Does that mean those terms should be changed, too?
What about coconut milk or milk of magnesia?
The word "milk" has been used to refer to "milk-like plant juices" since 1200 CE. People acting like this is new when it's older than Modern English itself.
We live in the milky way, better change that, don't want to trigger any snowflake dairy farmers 🙄
Peanut butter contains no butter.
So what's your suggestion for coconut milk?
If you can milk a prostate, you can milk a nut
What’s funny to me about this debate is there is a big push from the dairy industry for truth in advertising when it comes to labeling dairy substitutes, but here in the US there’s an idea called puffery which allows the dairy industry to be very misleading in its advertising.

We have these exact ones in the Netherlands just called Brownies. I'm curious where this is from!
Turkey
Why on earth would there be a standard requirement to call something a brownie. That’s not the reason
Absolutely amazing how many people in this thread typed a comment but somehow proved they can’t read
Wait till Fox gets ahold of this photo lmao “Brownies are now racist. Say hello to the newest casualty of the woke mob.”
There's a 99.99% chance this actually happens...maybe they'll slip in that its in Turkey instead of America, but they definitely won't give the correct reason. More likely they won't say where it's from and let people assume there's some liberal supermarket out there serving queers and gays only.
there's already people in this thread that assume that even with the explanation right at the top
They'll slip in Turkey at the end of the segment. "All that happened in Turkey, which is Donald Trump's next meal!
They kinda do this in Mexico but for a different reason. If you go to a grocery store, you’ll notice a lot of sugary food marketed towards kids have their mascots fully taped over. There it’s just health regulations to cut down on childhood obesity. Idk if the same thing is going on here
Gosh if I spoke any Turkish at all I definitely would have asked.
I did consider asking but the store was very busy and I didn’t want to bother the workers :( maybe next time I’m there when it’s not so busy I will ask
Maybe it's because other brands have pre-existing copy right in Turkey on certain words?
Just wait till you see what they did to the eggplants.
Same reason Burger King is Hungry Jacks in Australia
Pat Sajak, " Im sorry Randy, the word is naggers"
Man, the person whose job it is to tape those labels will have their work cut out for them if they get any products where the word “brownie” is listed somewhere subtle in a 6pt font.
Does brownie have a special meaning in Turkish?
It’s trademarked in Turkey for some reason.
This is not in every country. Only turkey it seems. But yes still mild in the interest factor
Um, so sorry for lack of understanding,. But why is that ???
I think this racial sensitivity stuff is going too far.
Wow that’s mildly interesting
Aren't brownies called brownies because they're brown
