Named after Uncle Ben's Microwavable Rice! There was an old french marketing slogan which said

Parce qu'il cuit grain par grain le riz Uncle Ben's ne colle jamais! Because it's cooked grain by grain, Uncle Ben's rice never sticks!

In font, climbers refer to the grippy conditions you get on cool, dry days as collante [sticky], but on this problem these conditions never happen due to the slick nature of the rock. [1]
