Quaker to end Aunt Jemima branding

[Deleted User 1583]

By the way, Quaker products have a shit ton of pesticides in them and their "maple syrup" is corn syrup but a black lady on their products is the most important issue. I buy organic no name bulk oats and real maple syrup.

Mrs Buttersworth next?

That’s what my friend said too. Lol

[SouthernIslander]

Me too, yum yum, lol. I get it in a couple of places in So. Ga. where they still home make it. It's becoming a lost art, I think.

My father use to make old fashion pancakes (just flour and water maybe?) with cane syrup. It was the best.

It is a lost art and that’s sad. I actually like it better than maple.

Yeah, my momma talked about those. She made some corn cakes fried in bacon grease that were so good with some cane syrup. It's good on grilled cheese too, lol.

Now I’m gonna have to call home to see if anyone can find it. Lol I think I’ll have better luck in the country.

yes lol. I always thought she was white british. "buttersworth" sound's like a British governess' name. reminds me of mr. belvedere, but I guess she's black.


Following decisions by Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben’s to overhaul their imaging in the wake of renewed calls for racial equality, Conagra Brands also announced Wednesday it has “begun a complete brand and packaging review on Mrs. Butterworth's.”

“The Mrs. Butterworth's brand, including its syrup packaging, is intended to evoke the images of a loving grandmother,” Conagra Brands said in a statement Wednesday. “We stand in solidarity with our Black and Brown communities and we can see that our packaging may be interpreted in a way that is wholly inconsistent with our values.”

Does anyone else see a problem with this?

In an effort to combat racism, Americans are taking all Black and Native American faces off of packaging, leaving only White faces lining the isles.

they make up for it by replacing white characters with POC in TV reboots and movies.

Yeah kinda....I think it’s token gestures by companies to show how woke they are or trying to be proactive by removing it now before they get hit by the cancel culture.

I don’t think some of these moves are actually done to combat racism.

I don’t think Land O Lakes replaced their logo with a White person so IDK about removing POC from the isles.
