I’m not decrying the delicious flavor of real maple syrup, but…. if loving this fake shit is wrong, I don’t wanna be right. I don’t care if it’s pearl milling, mearl pilling… I love it. And I’m not afraid to say it. Brings me right back to eggos on a plastic Strawberry Shortcake plate watching “David The Gnome.”
When they stop that terrorist, “Mr. Peanut” I’ll be impressed.
Got a box of her pancake mix in the zombie apocalypse supply. Never going to open it. Some day it could probably fetch me at LEAST tree-fiddy…
100% real maple syrup or death! FREEDOM!!!!
Butter Rich. Contains no actual butter.
pearl milling company sounds like a company that exploits their workers
And just like that, the picture changed, and the syrup tasted exactly the same. The End.
Good to rename … but is it just me or is ‘Pearl Milling Company’ an awful replacement? How much did they spend on naming consultants for this dud?
Can someone please explain why having a black person, whom everyone loves, on a product is offensive ?
This makes the Jemima’s Witnesses joke a historic relic
A while ago I saw another post about the Aunt-Jemima rebranding and someone mentioned the background story of the woman, modeling as “Aunt Jemima”: Nancy Green ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Green )
For some reason Pearl Milling Company sounds more racist lol
Can’t wait for the eventual “Mint condition Aunt Jemima” for $300 on eBay.
Just pour into the old container that way you never have to say goodbye
Mrs Butterworth is better
Goodbye handle, you will be missed
Chug newbie!

Ditch the company and eat real maple syrup! Support a farmer not a corporation!
I assume you’re talking about the era of the slightly shorter bottle design.
Can someone please explain how is it racist?
Rest in Pancakes, Aunt Jemima
I had to write a paper on this and after doing the research I came to understand why people didn’t like these characters. There is a whole series of products who’s characters were based entirely off of negative stereotypes. Even the less obvious ones like aunt Jemima have a pretty negative history. Here is an interesting fact. Watermelon was on of the first crop that share croppers were able to grow and make a profit off of. At one point it was even a symbol of the freedom movement before it was spun on its head and made into a stereotype.
I understand aunt Jemima and land o lakes to a degree but tf is the case with uncle ben. Like from what I heard the actual guy who modeled uncle ben was just a good chef that everyone loved so when the people needed a company image they asked him and he agreed.
I’m black and this change does nothing for us. I’m actually going to miss seeing her face and name on the bottle.
I found it hilarious when people were upset about her removal. Not much from the black community- just mainly white people. Old people hate change. I prefer real maple syrup as well than this chemical composition.
RIP my girl
You guys think this will one day become a Mandela Effect and everyone starts losing their minds trying to remember if it once said aunt Jemima
Buy real maple syrup instead of this garbage.
Please don’t take Mr. Stubbs marinade away next. Love that shit on my steaks.
Keep that aunt jem. It’ll go for $5000 dollars one day
Pearl milling company sounds like a place that definitely had slaves.
The only thing that upsets me about the Aunt Jemima ordeal is that in the future someone might not understand the Uncle Jemima SNL skit. It is hilarious.
People still give a shit about this?
😋 hydrogenated vegetable oils instead of butter.
Better be made with HFCS instead of maple syrup!
As a black girl who would always get teased by these racist classmates of mine by calling me Aunt Jemima, I’m actually ok with this….. Feel like they should’ve came up with a better name that “Pearl Milling Company” but whatever.
Saying goodbye to normalizing black servitude.
So gross not even real syrup lol. Artificial as hell no matter what label they put on it.
