I've never seen the short GOOFY GROCERIES, but what was edited in it?

[Jack]

After the firecracker Jack Bunny is holding explodes, Bunny is shown in blackface saying "My, oh, my! Tattletale gray!" There also scenes with little black children in them edited. I forget what product they are supposed to advertise, but can still see them watching the can-can girls in a few scenes.

The cartoon is unedited on the Bob Clampett Show.:D

Two scenes are cut before the ending edit -- the long shot of the characters from the products jumping into the swimming pool and then when the gorilla attacks, the black kid saying "Uh, oh -- Here I go again," and running into the Log Cabin syrup house (yea, they really used to sell it packaged like that) leaving a sign on the doorknob that says "Measles."
