I won't comment because it would be racist.

Old McDonald had a farm. Maybe his heirs should sue the golden arches.

This supposedly happened in 1937 and she died in 1955? Just speculating, but there may be a wee tad of a statute of limitations problem here.

I presume she was well paid to do the commercials. And that they had her sign some sort of copyright agreement before they signed her on.

Our local IGA store would occasionally have an Aunt Jemima look alike giving away tiny sample pancakes - late 50’s, early 60’s.

Seems like the heirs should have to prove that nothing was ever paid to Aunt Jemima.

The great-grandsons of a woman who depicted "Aunt Jemima" want $2 billion from the companies whose pancake products bear her name. The two men accuse Quaker Oats, Quaker's parent company PepsiCo and Pinnacle Foods of theft of royalties, fraud and racial discrimination. Quaker Oats is the maker of Aunt Jemima pancake mixes and syrup. Pinnacle Foods currently makes Aunt Jemima frozen pancakes, waffles and French toast.
