The pancake syrup brand Mrs. Butterworth’s — known for its matronly woman-shaped bottle — will undergo a “complete brand and packaging review,” a spokesperson for Conagra Brands said Wednesday. The development comes after parent companies for Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben’s announced that the two product lines will see branding changes of their own.
“We understand that our actions help play an important role in eliminating racial bias and as a result, we have begun a complete brand and packaging review on Mrs. Butterworth’s,” Conagra Brands Communications Manager Dan Skinner told Forbes. The company added:
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. It’s heartbreaking and unacceptable that racism and racial injustices exist around the world. We will be part of the solution. Let’s work together to progress toward change.

I had to look up Sue Bee Honey. Label used to have a little (Sioux) Indian girl on it.
Now she’s been replaced with a flower + bee logo.

What about Brer Rabbit Molasses?

It’s a reference to a character from the Uncle Remus tales.
Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben lost their jobs just because they are black. How racist.
There is nothing racist about all these brands. Only sick minded progressives could think that there is. But I would recommend that we don’t buy any of these products after they change their names. The people running these companies belong in the breadline for bowing to this kind of stupidity.
I like Brer Rabbit Full Flavor. I mix some into the maple syrup I put on my scrapple and eggs. It’ll put lead in yer pencil.
No more black peoples faces on food products!!!!!
“Nope.they are NEVER happy,and the TV ads would make one think that the US population is 1/2 black.”
And the other half homosexual.
“What about Le Choy chop suey?”
I only date back to the slop my step-monster tried to feed us.
Log Cabin - hopefully it is a safe brand
Hope the leave WD-40 and 409 alone.

She’s Real Fine, My 409.
Sexist, sorry.
They should put her in Black face and call her Mrs Northam.
= = =
OK, That is just really, really good.
IMO, MRS. BUTTERWORTH will be the next to go, especially after her fling with Col. Sanders. :) 
To update, they’ll change her name to something like Ms. BBW and she’ll look like Kim Kardashian.
According to The New York Times, “white Southerners once used ‘uncle’ and ‘aunt’ as honorifics for blacks because they refused to say ‘Mrs’ or ‘Mister’.”
—
Chinese use “aunt” or “uncle” as honorifics to show both respect and love toward someone where the person is not actually a relation. A young child might refer to an older neighbor As Auntie Mary, for example.
I loved that stuff, until I learned I’m prediabetic. I’m carnivore now.
Brer Rabbit Full Flavor (green label) molasses is great. Over oatmeal, makes great gingerbread, awesome baked beans.
If you add 4+ 0 + 9 you get thirteen, as in the original colonies which had slaves so that has to go. Plus the Chevy 409 was a gas guzzling carbon spewing monstrosity so it has to go for that reason too.
Jeez, anybody will a lick of intelligence just KNOWS there is a clear and unambiguous connection between anti-black racism and the shape of Mrs. Butterworth’s pancake syrup bottles. Plain as day. And it’s all part of the insidious systematic racism plan implemented by WHITE SUPREMACISTS to keep POC subservient.
Thank goodness, these misguided pancake mix and syrup makers saw the light through the guidance of the noble and selfless heroes in BLM and decided to let THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD know that they were going to immediately redesign their products to be less hurtful and more inclusive. They know they have a long way to go on the road to the full restorative justice needed to redress the thoughtless and cruel suffering their triggering designs provoked. However, with BLM’s steady hand on the rudder of the future, significant progress can be expected.

Is this woke enough to count toward earning the new Scouting Diversity and Inclusiveness Merit Badge? You know, it’s voluntary now, but eventually it will be mandatory in order to get your driver’s license.
