As a kid, I always found Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben and their smiling faces to be quite comforting. Who next? Peter Pan Peanut Butter unfair to fairies?
For so many years I just assumed that Uncle Ben's and Aunt Jemima were named after their creators, and that those were the people whose likeness appeared in their respective logos.
They were selected because they were positive people that showed taste and character. But I think most of us assumed as you did, that they were like Col Sanders, the creator of the product
As a kid I thought they were a married couple! Aunt AND Uncle after all, And yeah, I thought they were the founders of their brands, Like Chef Boyaredee (real person) or Col. Sanders.
The Land o' Lakes one is the perfect example of how cancel culture is fronted by the wrong people. 'Indigenous people thought it was positive representation but other people said it was bad so it had to go.'

Yeah, sadly they were victims to corporate over sensitivity. Alot of those mascots went away as a result of the George floyd protests, despite the fact no one was asking for them to be removed.
The California Raisins were for 8 years from 1986-1984? Wow I didn’t know you could go back in time like that. They did misspeak & mean 1994 I believe but that’s hard to miss!
A mascot that had a brief run and stirred up a lot of controversy was McDonald’s Mac Tonight. Mac had a literal moon face (his head was a crescent moon) wore sunglasses, and sat at a piano belting out a jingle to the tune of Mack the Knife. Criticism came from multiple directions. Some thought Mac was an unkind parody of Ray Charles and Dodd Darrin, Bobby’s son, objected to the song, saying it was ripping off his father’s performance of Mack the Knife. In the end, the controversy proved to be too much, and the campaign was dropped.
My first encounter with Mac Tonight was when my cousin found and bought an old Mac Tonight happy meal toy at a garage sale. Since he had never heard of the character, he named the toy "Jim McMoon" after former Chicago Bears quarterback Jim McMahon.
As much as I miss the chihuahua and cavemen, I also miss: The Burger King Kids Club kids The Crazy Craving for Honeycomb The Cookie Cop and Cookie Crook And some mascots that don't exist because the product doesn't exist: Ipanana Toothpaste's Bucky Beaver and Primeco's Pink Alien
I Hope 7UP Will bring back the old mascot’s. I remember in the summer some years ago they brought back Fido Dido (another mascot) and put him on the 7up cans for a short time. Maybe next time they bring cool spot and Fido dido together and put them on their drink package designs.
Theres actually a story there. A guy whose name was Kenneth Lamar Noid saw the commercials and believed that Dominos was spying on him. So he called in an order for carry out and held the store hostage for an hour, then let the employees go and finished the pizza he ordered before he turned himself in. Dominos discontinued the Noid after the incident to avoid controversy. They only recently brought it back as Kenneth has since passed away.
“Perhaps it was the Noid who should have avoided me.” …FYI BTW, I only know about this because I was staying at my stepmother’s house one night and her über-tomboy daughter forced me to binge-watch Family Guy with her-although I have aggressively stated many times that I DESPISE anything by Seth MacFarlane!
@@DavidRay_40 Sorry to burst your bubble, but the frogs were "mascots" at the time. a person or *thing that is supposed to bring good luck or that is used to symbolize a particular event or organization.*
I remember the Geico cavemen commercial where they talked to a therapist, whom I later learned was played by actress Talia Shire (Adrienne from Rocky). There was also that Geico commercial involving a pig and Reiko Aylesworth (at least I think that was her?) in a car, but she wasn't a mascot.
5:13 I once read that the artist behind the Land O Lakes mascot drew her that way so that there was a naughty image when you swap the box she's holding with her knees.
I'm surprised Chef Wendell didn't show up on this list. For those who don't know, he was the mascot for Cinnamon Toast Crunch since the 50s, and yet, despite how he was still present in Cinnamon Toast Crunch boxes in the 90s and 00s, he never appeared in commercials, compared to Lucky, Sonny, and The Trix Bunny. There was even a commercial when they promoted "healthier" versions of the four cereals where the aforementioned three were shown together with a kid, but Wendell never showed up. Later on, I guess General Mills knew nobody cared for him and he got phased out
I remember that Wendell was with two other bakers who were never named for some reason before the 1990s. I would rather have Wendell back because I hate those cannibalistic cinnamon toast squares!
I remember many of these. The ones I miss are the California Raisins (I loved the characters despite not liking raisins as food) Mia, Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima, and, most of all, the Taco Bell Chihuahua, which was at its peak of popularity when I was in my teens.
I was in a clinic where the exam room I was in had a picture of Joe Camel getting chemotherapy done and it was titled Joe Chemo. I was only in the clinic because our family doctor wasn’t available but I needed a prescription refilled

I'm familiar with Joe Camel, The California Raisins, Tropicana, Mia, Uncle Ben, a caveman, and Aunt Jemima. I've seen one caveman in Geico commercials and a lunch box of The California Raisins. The California Raisins were on one episode of "The Simpsons"! I had no idea that these mascots don't exist anymore, including the others on this list. And a talking dog? Cool!

Land O Lakes mascot... Indigenous people: "We Love this. It is a positive representation." Non-indigenous people: "This is offensive to indigenous people." This world is so upside down.
That's this new generation we live in. People will look for any excuse to find something offensive no matter how big or trivial. And rather than deal with any potential backlash....if even just one person can find something potentially offensive with their brand, most companies just change their branding.
I wrote to Geico and suggested their cave men could be a great vehicle for a sitcom. SO they did it but the implementation was not so good, it flopped. Or maybe they hired real cave men as writers.
1986 to 1984? So the California Raisins are no longer mascots because they time traveled back to 1984, became the mascots in 1986, time traveled back to 1984, became the mascots in 1986, time traveled back to 1984, became the mascots in 1986, time traveled back to 1984…crap, my thumbs are tired…do I have to keep going or is it clear they’re stuck in a time travel loop forever?
I have some plushes of the Taco Bell dog! I don't know if they still work, though. But they used to say that exact quote. I think they're still in good shape too, despite being years old, ahaha. I'm too afraid to see if they still talk, in case they make some distorted glitchy noise instead, LOL.
I remember that commercial where they showed him breaking into McDonald's headquarters to steal the formula of the egg Mcmuffin. I was astounded that Burger King depicted itself as a ripoff.
I loved that Taco Bell dog!! Spuds was the dude! Was glad to see the neanderthals go. Bring back the piggy ❣️ Weeee 😂 People get so butthurt over everything. An Indian on butter, a black woman on a syrup bottle, an Eskimo on an ice cream treat. I'd be honored if my heritage was honored by a label.
I miss Joe Camel and Spuds McKenzie - those ads were great. I remember the California Raisins were so popular you could buy their "signature glasses" at Hardees with the purchase of your meal. Back then you could also buy commemorative plastic "glasses" at McDonald's, BK, and Arby's for whatever stupid promo they were pushing at the time. My family had a cabinet full of them as did many others I knew.
@@TDH24Live Lots of things! * How to make a spear. * How to make an arrow bow and arrows. * How to make fire. * How to hunt things like wooly mammoths. * How to make cave paintings. * How to make basic clothing. * How to make stone and bone tools. * How to form a tribe. * How to live in a cave. * How to gather things like berries. And so much more! They were the start of human productive endeavor after all.
Joe Camel was the coolest, he appeared everywhere: billboards, gas station and convenience store windows, magazines, matchbooks, drinking glasses, ash trays, music tapes, clothes, etc.
I'm surprised you didn't bring up Erin Esurance, the the cartoon spy girl mascot for the Esurance insurance company in the mid-2000s. The biggest reason Esurance no longer used her was due to the pornographic fan art that was found on the internet. In fact, it got so bad that if someone were to look up Esurance online, the first thing people would see would be the pornographic fan art.
I remember so many of the mascot in history like Burger king McDonald's both restaurant are different would have thought most definitely of people eating they ever made and yet they both still exist
The Taco Bell dog was not offensive to Hispanics, in fact most of us was happy with the dog. Even a Mexican comedian mentioned it in his act about having the dog representing us.
I’m very surprised Cheesasaurus Rex didn’t get included in this video! As a kid growing up, I think it was one of the most popular mascots of the 90’s that advertised Kraft macaroni and cheese
Ha! I instantly remember the Jokamel (Joe Camel + Pokémon craze of the 2000's) spoof from MADTV. Never knew that the mascot for the cigarette looked like the parody [sexual] mascot
We need a part 2 - Moon Man - Mayor Mac Cheese & Officer Big Mac - Washington Red Skins, Chief Black Jack, Syracuse Big Chief - Eskimo Pie - Cream of Wheat - Miss Chiquita - Funny Face Drink Mix
I'mma just be blunt, A LOT of changes to mascots are just...well they are just purely idiotic. Now the ones done due to financial reasons or just wanting to shake things up are fine, but changing them because of like 1% people not liking it is just purely idiotic and should NEVER be a reason for change
Listen, I always loved the Taco Bell Chihuahua and my dad even got me a toy of it when I was little. I didn’t speak English as a kid, but I heard “Yo Quiero Taco Bell” and immediately gravitated towards that. I mean: tacos, Spanish speaking, and a dog. I am not too fond of that Bandito, but I feel like that sound was the same voice who voiced Speedy Gonzales. I use the phrase “I’m gonna speedy gonzales this shit” constantly!
Anyone that was offended by these characters are weak people looking for something to cry about. Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima, and all were not negative stereotypes. They were simple characters that were entertaining and showed different people. Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben were welcome figures in homes that were loving faces. Those offended need to get a life.
Frank Bartles and Ed Jaymes from Bartles & Jaymes wine coolers. & The 'Where's the beef' lady from Wendy's. & Domino's Avoid the Noid campaign. & The Kool-aid Man. I'm sure there's more.
I want uncle Ben and aunt Jemima to come back. Also Mia for land of lakes, Cleveland Indians and the Washington redskins too. Damn cancel culture gone and ruined everything.
Name the "The Rednecks". How about the "Pale Pastries"? Better yet, "The Corny Caucasians"? Would that help you feel better? Cranky Crackers? The Incestors? Kissin' Kousins? Thoese are good representations and have them be owned by people of Color to overlook those mascots? Tell me, would that be right? I hope you don't report me because I'm not being offensive.😊
I remember my Mom had some Joe Camel stuff when I was little. She also has some little California Raisins toys. Though the commercials were before my time so I was confused when she told me what they were.
3/4ths of the Danimals Animal Mascots are missing: Lady Polar Bear, Lady Dino, and Male Brown Bear - only the Male Monkey remains. Where did they go? Are they in the Monkey's car trunk with duct tape on their mouths?
What mascot do you wish would come back? Let us know in the comments.

A mascot that had a brief run and stirred up a lot of controversy was McDonald’s Mac Tonight.

I miss Joe Camel and Spuds McKenzie - those ads were great. I remember the California Raisins were so popular you could buy their "signature glasses" at Hardees with the purchase of your meal. Back then you could also buy commemorative plastic "glasses" at McDonald's, BK, and Arby's for whatever stupid promo they were pushing at the time. My family had a cabinet full of them as did many others I knew.
The main Geico caveman teaches at a university in my hometown. At least he did last year.
What could a caveman possibly teach?
@@TDH24Live Lots of things!
* How to make a spear.
* How to make an arrow bow and arrows.
* How to make fire.
* How to hunt things like wooly mammoths.
* How to make cave paintings.
* How to make basic clothing.
* How to make stone and bone tools.
* How to form a tribe.
* How to live in a cave.
* How to gather things like berries.
And so much more! They were the start of human productive endeavor after all.
@@TDH24Live Nuclear physics and string theory.
There was also Dominos The Noid and several mascots of kid's cereal whether it was Cap'n Crunch, Toucan Sam, or the Trix Rabbit just to name a few.
What do I see all these years. Offensive = profit, while we fight about it, that guy walks to the bank whistling Dixie
Oh spuds.. that’s from way back in my childhood.😊
And dare we mention the Burger King 1984 spokesperson who pretended to be Mr. Rogers.
Fred Rogers himself strongly disapproved of the ad.
Bud Light is probably wishing they had stuck with the dog right now.
Joe Camel was the coolest, he appeared everywhere: billboards, gas station and convenience store windows, magazines, matchbooks, drinking glasses, ash trays, music tapes, clothes, etc.
I was not offended by the Frito Bandito! I vote to bring him back!
The same people who got Speedy Gonzales concepts not Bandito canceled....😢
And he was voiced by mel too @bugdude21
I'm surprised you didn't bring up Erin Esurance, the the cartoon spy girl mascot for the Esurance insurance company in the mid-2000s. The biggest reason Esurance no longer used her was due to the pornographic fan art that was found on the internet. In fact, it got so bad that if someone were to look up Esurance online, the first thing people would see would be the pornographic fan art.
Last I seen about the taco Bell chihuahua. It was said that someone (maybe more) claimed that T.B took their idea and sued when they didn't get paid.
The Geico caveman was in a game show called I Can See Your Voice. Lol
According to your video the California Raisins were on for 8 years from 1986 to 1984....this must be that new math they are teaching
How is Erin Esurance not in this list? And it has the funniest reason why she doesn't exist anymore. What a baddie
I remember so many of the mascot in history like Burger king McDonald's both restaurant are different would have thought most definitely of people eating they ever made and yet they both still exist
As an 80's kid, I loved the California raisins and Spud McKenzie
The mascot I want to come back is Aunt Jemima. Which, in fact, has nothing to do with racism!
What about the dos XX "the most interesting man in the world" 😂 loved those commercials!
The Taco Bell dog was not offensive to Hispanics, in fact most of us was happy with the dog. Even a Mexican comedian mentioned it in his act about having the dog representing us.
I’m very surprised Cheesasaurus Rex didn’t get included in this video! As a kid growing up, I think it was one of the most popular mascots of the 90’s that advertised Kraft macaroni and cheese
Ha! I instantly remember the Jokamel (Joe Camel + Pokémon craze of the 2000's) spoof from MADTV. Never knew that the mascot for the cigarette looked like the parody [sexual] mascot
As a black guy, I want aunt Jemima not pearl milling company. Also who cares about George Floyd? Uncle Ben had nothing to do with George Floyd
I miss the guy who said, “Would you please pass the jelly?"
Of course, he's probably dead now.
I would reinstate some mascots just to piss off certain people.
Uncle Ben’s and aunt Jemima would like those logos back .
Only if those companies are willing to pay for the imagine and likeness of the people they were using.
Make them white mascots until the "offended people" want the originals back due to white appropriation.
I wondered what had happened to Spuds Mackenzie! I wish they would bring him back!
The Geico Caveman were freaking hilarious
I loved the Taco Bell dog! ❤️
We need a part 2
- Moon Man
- Mayor Mac Cheese & Officer Big Mac
- Washington Red Skins, Chief Black Jack, Syracuse Big Chief
- Eskimo Pie
- Cream of Wheat
- Miss Chiquita
- Funny Face Drink Mix
I really miss Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima. I didn’t see anything racist about them, if anything they were promoting black history.
I used to have a cool blouse with Spuds on the back. I wore it proudly and loved the fact it's with a dog :D
I'mma just be blunt, A LOT of changes to mascots are just...well they are just purely idiotic. Now the ones done due to financial reasons or just wanting to shake things up are fine, but changing them because of like 1% people not liking it is just purely idiotic and should NEVER be a reason for change
Another long gone mascot. The Budweiser Bull Frogs.
Another one. The Fruit Of The Loom Guys.
"For eight years, from 1986 to 1984..."
Negative two years.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They need to bring back the California raisins! I think people would be excited to see them back.
I thought land o lakes look different. Just couldn’t remember what was missing but now I know.
I saw a meme- “typical America: keep the land, get rid of the Native American”
Screw the Geico caveman, Erin Esurance dissapearance hurted even more
Listen, I always loved the Taco Bell Chihuahua and my dad even got me a toy of it when I was little. I didn’t speak English as a kid, but I heard “Yo Quiero Taco Bell” and immediately gravitated towards that. I mean: tacos, Spanish speaking, and a dog.
I am not too fond of that Bandito, but I feel like that sound was the same voice who voiced Speedy Gonzales. I use the phrase “I’m gonna speedy gonzales this shit” constantly!
So sad we are so culturally unaware that a person of color or origin cannot be seen on high quality food packages.
3:32 how is 1986 to 1984 eight years? Sounds like quite the time loop.
Anyone that was offended by these characters are weak people looking for something to cry about. Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima, and all were not negative stereotypes. They were simple characters that were entertaining and showed different people. Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben were welcome figures in homes that were loving faces. Those offended need to get a life.

I want uncle Ben and aunt Jemima to come back. Also Mia for land of lakes, Cleveland Indians and the Washington redskins too. Damn cancel culture gone and ruined everything.
Name the "The Rednecks". How about the "Pale Pastries"? Better yet, "The Corny Caucasians"? Would that help you feel better? Cranky Crackers? The Incestors? Kissin' Kousins? Thoese are good representations and have them be owned by people of Color to overlook those mascots?
Tell me, would that be right? I hope you don't report me because I'm not being offensive.😊
Cancel culture = 1984, George Orwell
I loved the California Raisins!
I miss the McDonald's characters and the Burger King kids . Does anyone remember that ?
Yeah. I do miss Ronald McDonald and his friends like the Hamburgler for example.
@@devingiles6597 He's the one I was thinking of too.
I remember my Mom had some Joe Camel stuff when I was little. She also has some little California Raisins toys. Though the commercials were before my time so I was confused when she told me what they were.
Yo Quiero Taco Bell.. RIP LIL POOCH
Frankly I'm still fond of the California Raisin's Christmas songs and special
3/4ths of the Danimals Animal Mascots are missing: Lady Polar Bear, Lady Dino, and Male Brown Bear - only the Male Monkey remains. Where did they go? Are they in the Monkey's car trunk with duct tape on their mouths?
I miss that trippy little Diet Dr Pepper dude. Sweeee-heeeet. And what about those funky roadkill looking things from the Quizno's ads?
The M&M’s mascots are on hiatus, and Koodo discontinued El Tabador.
Actually, the M&M's spokescandies' "hiatus" was brief.
@@chasebakerofthe209Right-they’re back and better than ever!!
From 1986-1984? That's only 2 years not 8 and I had no idea these raisins had the ability to time travel.
