I tried to sell an unused, unopened bottle of Aunt Jemima syrup on eBay but they cancelled the auction.

A few days ago, I listed an unused and unopened bottle of Aunt Jemima syrup for sale on eBay. I have a couple of these that I purchased in 2020 during the BLM riots and the assault on American culture. I had no idea what the level of interest would be for this. But I was mildly to start getting bids right away and the bidding price reached $38 at one point. I noticed a problem with eBay right away as they would allow to use the words or term "Aunt Jemima". So, I had to list it as "AJ Syrup" and used the word "discontinued". I discovered this morning that eBay cancelled the auction. "This listing has a policy violation.". Good grief. I'm not really surprised but this is so stupid. I don't know if will work but I posted the link to the auction if you want to see it. What was my "crime" here?

Was it like this?

It looks like they’ve become collectibles. You might try Etsy.

You will notice that none of the Aunt Jemima items use that name in the listing text - it’s all just ‘pancake syrup’.

This must be a trademark matter, though I don’t know why they care at this point; and I guess the image doesn’t matter because that’s a different legal issue.

You should have advertised as “Uncle Jememiah Trans Syrup”

Does the bottle have a best by or an expiration date which has passed?
= = =

I just got some isopropyl alcohol. It has an expiration date.

Oh????

Does it turn into ethanol? If so, is that date now its vintage?

Remember the Sambo’s coffee shops?

From wikipedia:

“Sambo’s was an American restaurant chain, started in 1957 by Sam Battistone Sr. and Newell Bohnett in Santa Barbara, California.”

FWIW the restaurant was originally called 'Little Black Sambo's, then Sambo's, and then a lot of them became Denny's or Shoney's.

And the fable about Little Black Sambo fooling the tiger was based in India, not Africa. There are no tigers in Africa.

The people of India are considered to be Caucasian,not Negroid.

Yep… more cultural appropriation by American leftist, racist blacks and their DemocRAT tormentors.

You should have said you had a vintage bottle of Jemima Vanderbilt maple syrup and see what would happen.

It will still be good for certain uses but using it for pre-injection cleansing is not advised. You can still wipe down surfaces with it or use it for ear drops (to prevent water in the ear when swimming) and such when full strength may not be necessary.

What goes bad, if it is kept in the bottle, closed?

The alcohol portion evaporates meaning it becomes mostly water at some point.

= = =

So that is isopropal from the drug store. In a sealed bottle.

What happens to the 12-year old Scotch from the liquor store?

Does it evap also?

My point is that the expiration date from the drugstore is bogus.

Scotch does not have a ‘use-by’ date that I have seen.
