Interesting use of "Aunt Jemima" that nobody caught on, why did you use this particularly, afaik it doesn't exist anymore for being "racist"?

It would appear that you know wrong.

What do you mean by that? The brand was renamed several years ago:

https://www.pearlmillingcompany.com/our-history

"In June 2020, PepsiCo and The Quaker Oats Company made a commitment to change the name and image of Aunt Jemima, recognizing that they do not reflect our core values.

We want to thank everyone who has made us part of their family over the years, and look forward to starting a new chapter as the Pearl Milling Company."


I caught on but was more offended by referring to it as 'maple syrup'

I didn't know it was discontinued in 2021. It was my favorite maple syrup growing up.

From what I read, it just got re-branded, not discontinued.

Maybe the fashions will have swung against woke by 2040?
