The claim: The PayDay candy bar is changing its name because it offends the unemployed
PayDay lovers can take a bite of relief: An old rumor about the candy bar changing its name is just nuts.
The claim, which has circulated online since summer 2020, resurfaced in several recent Facebook posts.
"PAYDAY CANDY BAR IS CHANGING IT'S NAME BECAUSE IT'S OFFENSIVE TO PEOPLE WITHOUT JOBS," reads the text of a July 12 post.
The Facebook post, which has been shared more than 9,700 times, was likely intended as a joke. But some users didn't take it that way.
