Mildly, yes.
I can understand those who feel that she should be replaced. She's been a bye word for decades. Rebranding would be difficult though. If you call her Aunt Jem, there's the problem that "Aunt" is what the South called older Black women when they couldn't give her a title of Ms. or Mrs.. If they call her Grandma Jemima, you have the dated personal name. Either option would still tie into the origin of her as a minstrel character. Maybe they could rebrand the syrup after the parent company? Quaker Oats Syrup? --- 2020 going to be a CE kind of year ~ Panthera ... Copied to Clipboard!

It was in the past, but now? No, and getting rid of it just seems a bit silly.Pepsico has almost certainly crunched the numbers, and likely discovered that the bulk of the existing customer base for the current brand of mediocre pancake mix and syrup was probably told to quit eating pancakes by a doctor several years ago. There's an opportunity for easy "look how woke we are!" marketing, while the potential lost customers isn't a particularly large number anyway. Gillette already demonstrated this a couple or three years ago. ... Copied to Clipboard!
