He left all the other ethnic companies quaking in their boots.

Trademarking and other legal concerns aside, it took Quaker 8 months to decide on the new name???

The Koreans have their own lady divers, on Jeju Island. Pretty soon, there won’t be any of them left; it’s a dying art:

Our woke morons have removed black faces from grocery store aisles. They have have eliminated old beloved brands. I’m sure they’re very proud of themselves.

What a world they’ve made.

Just show them a picture of Elizabeth Warren. /sarc

They had already changed Jemima’s image to that of a modern woman. Why did they need to change the name? Why not just drop the title “aunt” if that was offensive? Jemima’s Syrup.

High cheekbones...

Pearl Necklace?

LOL!

[xzins]

Good catch!

Try Blackburns. Made in Texas, and you can get it in many stores including Walmart and Amazon. It's the BEST! My favorite syrup since a toddler.

Pearl Milling Company?

Sorry, I don’t buy the generic stuff...

Next, they'll probably go after "Chiquita Banana".

Someone should fill the vacuum and bring out Fat Black Mammy branded syrup.

She gave me so much joy as a kid whenever I saw the bottle on the table telling me your mom made pancakes

What are you doing at my mom's house eating pancakes?!

As a person of partial “Quaker” ancestry, I’m insulted at the caricature of that 17th century “Quaker” and am reminded that the name was long considered derogatory at a time when other evil words describing certain groups of people were acceptable.

I am ashamed and bear the guilt that in the 17 century when members of the Society of Friends (”Quakers”) wore such clothing that they were sometimes owners of slaves and indentured servants.

It time for Quaker Oats to change their terrible name. They should now use packaging with this name solely and boldly imprinted on their products - “FOOD” which is so conforming and egalitarian.

Aunti Jo Mammy rides off into the sunset.

[GnuThere]

Gee, why not make the name even longer?
“Pearl Milling Company Premium High Fructose Corn Syrup.”

[Rebelbase]

Only because the bottle is brown.
