Sir Isaac Lime Protest
In 1995, National Pax had planned to replace the "Sir Isaac Lime" flavor with "Scarlett O'Cherry," until a group of Orange County, California fourth-graders created a petition in opposition and picketed the company's headquarters in early 1996. The crusade also included an e-mail campaign, in which a Stanford professor reportedly accused the company of "Otter-cide." After meeting with the children, company executives relented and retained the Sir Isaac Lime flavor.
