- Aunt Jemima was an American brand name used from 1889 to 2021 for pancake mix, syrup, and other breakfast food products. The original version of the pancake mix for the brand was developed in 1888-1889 by the Pearl Milling Company and was advertised as the first ready-mix cooking product.
In June 2021, the Aunt Jemima brand name was discontinued by its current owner, PepsiCo, with all products rebranded to Pearl Milling Company, the name of the company that produced the original pancake mix product.
Nancy Green portrayed the Aunt Jemima character at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, one of the first Black corporate models in the United States. Subsequent advertising agencies hired dozens of actors to perform the role as the first organized sales promotion campaign.
Those chocolate squares looked fantastic!
The little boy in the last ad is actor Tommy Norden who co-starred on Flipper as Bud.
It's a shame about poor old aunt jemima.our family used this product for over 60 years and not once did we have a racist thought about her. we just knew her as the maker of the best pancake mix ever. Every saterday my dad made bacon and eggs with a pile of pancakes. and on Sundays he would make waffles.he always had real maple syrup but us kids had to use aunt jamima syrup.when we moved out he would call us up and say make sure you guys come over for pancakes .funny how I still make make them on Saturday. thanks pops miss you.
Very gone but not forgotten. Stay UNWOKE! Loved some of that stuff!
I HATE CANCEL CULTURE🤬..."MY FAVORITE AUNT"❣️
Poor little snowflake.
No black faces now on products but plenty of white ones.
Now, it's Pearl Milling Co. Oh have times changed. I think those Easy Mixes would do well today!
Who didn’t love Aunt Jemima?
The picture on the box would cause quite a stir now days.
@@johnbockelie3899 Ha Ha Ha, No No No -- Use a picture of a stove/oven with a picture of the bag and tray on it. No people on the box. Come on man it's the 2000's no one puts a face on packaging anymore!
They changed their recognizable brand to something bland and unnoticeable. That's on top of the decline in product, ingredient quality since the name change.
@@vesta8481 A) I agree about the name change
B) Not too sure about the quality, I still use the pancake mix and love it to this day
First I noticed my Aunt Jemima syrup had no picture of Aunt Jemima on it - just the name. THEN - the product had disappeared altogether! Finally I figured out the brand name had changed to PEARL MILLING COMPANY. Easy to remember, no? What in God's name is a "Pearl Milling Company" - is this a mill that makes pearls? The least memorable name I can think of. Did they have to go so far to distance themselves from the very recognizable, even beloved figure on the label?
What a shame! Changing the name after all these generations grew up with Aunt Jemima!
Agreed. I never thought she was something bad or to be looked down on. I just thought if her as the pancake lady.
That orange sherbet looks exactly like a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Which year did this commercial air?
I'd love to have that Box lol
So those mixes came with a square pan to pour it all into huh? Most people already had a square metal baking/cake pan they could use.
How strange because they then said no dishwashing needed…so you tossed the supplied pan when done?
BOYCOTE ! PEARL MILLING PRODUCTS. They took my aunt from me . Now that I`m auntless , I want reparations .
😜😜😜
Get the hell off me kid
Before communism.
Aunt Jemima should have become a Black-owned business and they should have embraced the logo that made its inspiration rich. It's rather a shame that such a character (dare I use the "M" word that rhymes with hammy?) can't become an accepted part of American folklore: the strong, talented, funny, caring, zaftig Black woman who ran the house, had all the b@lls, and was smarter than all the white people she worked for put together. Maybe it wasn't an entirely honest portrait, but I don't think Paul Bunyan was real, either.
Why should it become a black owned business?
These products obviously were intended to broaden the AJ product line beyond grits, cornmeal, and pancake mix ( on RUclips or free ok. ru see the original " Imitation of Life", 1930s, Claudette Colbert, Warren William, Louise Beaver, Ned Spark) . But they didn't and didn't last long. It was too much a departure and Better Crocker and Duncan Hines already had corned the market on " Fake Cake" ( vaguely smelled and tasted like bleach, Ayyiiiii!) so no dice. Terrific movie, though.
