Aunt Jemima is no more. Brands still awaiting their announced rebranding are Mrs Butterworth and Uncle Ben's. Aunt Jemima is now Pearl Milling Company.

It's really clever how Aunt Jemima redesigned the packaging so that supermarket shoppers who just grab the box or bottle by color and shape would see no difference. It reminds me how supermarket store brands make their packaging look so similar to the actual brand that some people buy the store brand without realizing it.

This happened a long time ago. Remember when Kentucky Fried Chicken changed their name to KFC? Cancelling one name and rebranding with a new one has been going on for about as long as companies have been naming their products.

That wasn't a rebrand, it's just easier and quicker to say KFC.

True but these are being done cause of the politics of the moment not a planned re-branding.

Yea but not for the same reason .
Reason KFC changed was because market studies showed that the word fried was frowned upon due to people wanting to eat healthier

Changing the the name because certain groups frowned upon it (and might buy it less) is nearly the exact same reason for the Aunt Jemima name change.

It is hilarious how desperate some people are to search for a reason why other people or businesses should not be making their own decisions, even when it has zero effect on anyone else. And if we can't find a good reason why what they are doing is wrong, lets just make up a new name for something that has been going on for a very long time.

"Yes, but."
"Yes, but."

They took a black woman off Aunt Jemima but put a black man on Cheezits. They are trying so hard to push the whole “women can be men / men can be women” idea … and they say they believe in science … literally living in the fucking twilight zone!

Cheesy Cheezits.

Never find another one of them in my belly.

How have these decision makers infitrated the culture to the point that Cheezit would take this route?

Not a food issue, but when I grew up tattoos were really frowned upon and you rarely saw it unless a biker gang member..Today when I walk in the mall, so Many are walking billboards of ink..or at minimum a couple ...Unreal to me

It seems more racist that they cancelled or rebranded these once proud black heritage products...
