Maple syrup is cheap af now and people are still buying this colored corn syrup

Kirkland maple is like 10$ and lasts 5x as long.

They just removed the name entirely. Now it's Pearl Milling Company pancake syrup.
20
I know when I think syrup I think Pearl mining

heard of the go woke go broke strategy but this one really takes the pancake.

To be fair they were literally using a slave name as their brand. It was long overdue they changed it. The fact that they didn’t come up with a decent name afterwards is a different story.

There's more to it. They hired a woman to "be" Aunt Jemima and she helped sell the brand. However fucked up times were, everyone knew that "the help" made bangin' fucking food.
The woman who played the role of Jemima made a small fortune doing it as it was very successful, and she was able to both build a future for her family, and help others in her community and elsewhere.
It's important not to skip these parts of the story, because her descendants today are very proud of the name and are frustrated to see it go, and see their ancestor's legacy effectively erased over the sensitivity of people today who shoot first, think later.

Here's an idea, keep the same name, get rid of the pic. If they did that in the 00s they wouldn't have kamikazed their entire product in this nu-Age.

There’s a maple syrup farm near me that I used to go to sometimes. You could try little samples of the syrup at the different stages of processing and it was so good

This political correctness is getting out of hand.
