Power with Control
No one cares about Aunt Jemima or Uncle Ben.

it's the companies making the change. No one from BLM or any other organization has change the name of a pancake syrup at the top of their list of priorities.

Just like land o'lakes changed their Indian maiden these companies are making these changes themselves.

Man, quote properly.

My post you quoted had nothing to do with products, but rather the notion that you can destroy, vandalize, and loot your way to equality.

Aunt Jemima breakfast brand renamed Pearl Milling Company

The Aunt Jemima breakfast brand will be renamed Pearl Milling Company, it was announced Tuesday, after the 130-year-old maple syrup mascot was scrutinized last year over its ties to slavery.

Quaker Oats, a division of PepsiCo that owns the brand, unveiled the new name and logo, which it said would hit store shelves in June.

Pearl Milling Company has historical roots with the brand. It was a small Missouri mill that in 1889 produced the self-rising pancake mix later known as Aunt Jemima.

“While the name on the box has changed, the great tasting products – the “pearl” inside the familiar red box – remains the same, with a mission to create joyful breakfast moments for everyone,” the company said on its website.

I hope that company had something to do with black people or their gonna be more upset.

On the other hand, that name isn't going to make me think of pancake syrup.

These people, I swear......

Aunt Jemima was chosen because she makes people think of comfort. About waking up to the smell of pancakes and syrup on a cold morning. Aunt Jemima herself was a symbol of warmth and love. You see a pic of her and go, "Mmmmmm......pancakes......"


Pearl Milling? Big nope.

I predict their sales will tank hard because they've lost their brand identity and eventually they'll stop producing pancake mix and syrup altogether.

I did see another article about the original owner of Pearl Milling Co using people in black face dressed to to promote his products. Didn't do very good research on their part.

doesn’t surprise me you’d be a fan of the imitation syrup, not even a trace of actual maple syrup, just a bunch of corn syrup and artificial flavors

https://www.auntjemima.com/products/syrups/original

“INGREDIENTS: CORN SYRUP, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, WATER, CELLULOSE GUM, CARAMEL COLOR, SALT, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, SODIUM BENZOATE AND SORBIC ACID (PRESERVATIVES), SODIUM HEXAMETAPHOSPHATE.”

I don’t care what they call it, it’s junk food
