It's not exactly an epidemic, if one example was in 1990 and the other seems to have been about seven years ago.
If you're a "dumb-fuck mom", then looking out for your children is integral to "getting on with your pathetic little life". But I think we can all agree that it is a misfiring of that instinct to worry about completely random resemblances that are, very obviously, entirely unintended and irrelevant to the context. (I had to think quite hard about the Zoodles one, until I realised that the coconuts were the offending feature.)
Maybe an elder brother was tittering about it with his chums in front of the smaller children, and mummy didn't like it. But you're never going to eliminate that: if it's not something on a Zoodles label, it'll be some other random object to titter about. Mummy needs to develop a calmer response.
