I still buy land o lakes, cuz we removed the indian kept the land is based lolz, and the only other alternative is store brand 99% of the time. It annoys the wife when I point it out in the store for the nteenth thousand time though.
I grew up with a violent alcoholic parent. Seeing Aunt Jemina's kind calm sane brown face gave me reassurance there was goodness in the world. That lady's face was one of the few stabilizing things in my child universe.
I remember being a kid and wondering why they implied this fat sheboon on a bottle of corn syrup was supposed to be a sibling of one of my parents.
I guess your parents didn't tell you that grand-dad liked a little brown sugar.
He'd have been hard-put to find any niggers in a homesteading community. Hard work and cold is anathema to niggers.
I bought maple syrup the other day, the Aunt Jemimah syrup bottles looked like they went back to their original shape, I can't remember if the labeling was back too.
It's bizarre ....wasn't the original inspiration for the product the first black millionaire?
Are they going to cancel Log Cabin too because it reminds them of Lincoln?
Aunt Jemima was a real person and the first black millionaire.

Log Cabin Republicans (LGBTQ) and anti-groomer.
Interesting. I had thought they kept the name and removed the logo (land o lakes style). Had no idea 'pearl milling' was their branding.
Saw a huge display at the grocery store the other day of pearl milling mixes. Thought it was weird because I'd never heard of them before. I wonder how many sales they've lost simply due to lack of brand recognition?
Likely lost tons of Boomers who only knew it as Aunt Jemima. Bad move.
This was such a dumbfuck marketing mistake, even ignoring the woke and broke aspect. They took the brand from "friendly black aunt giving you delicious high fructose corn syrup" to a mining company? What the fuck does mining have to do with pancake mix and syrup? Or home cooking? Miners usually work in terrible conditions and eat shit food, at least they did historically. The whole thing was dumb as fuck. Pearl? Mining? Company? Could they have picked a more out of touch, corporate name? What the fuck does any of that have to do with breakfast?
