Had to post this here since it's so silly but true. Chicken Kiev is being changed to chicken kyiv. Apparently this is out of respect for Ukraine, it's culture, etc. Yeah, this is going to make a big difference in the world.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Our old pronunciation of "Kiev" is out of date. They would like us to pronounce it "Kyiv" now. It's like Peking became Beijing, and Bombay became Mumbai.

A lot of eastern cities were renamed by invaders. Some of those cities are reclaiming the original name. I ran across it a lot when I went east and visited numerous cities. They said they were going back to the original name now that the invaders were gone.
Soooo, doing Nothing is preferable?

@darren316 You are making the assumption that they’re not doing anything else… based on what?
@darren316 They probably weren’t aware that Kjiv was the Ukrainian name for Kiev…were you? I know I wasn’t!

Thank you for your last post. I meet people from around the world with all sorts of history in their family that they aren't proud of. None of us are perfect, but when people try to bring back their history, my heart goes out for them.
It’s not silly…it’s just a nice gesture to show support for Ukraine at the present moment and is in line with many other companies and people who are acting in some way to show solidarity. It doesn’t change the product but maybe people will be reminded that Kjiv or Kiev is under siege at the moment and prompt them to donate money or do something to help the more than 1 million Ukrainian people who have been made into refugees.
