How are Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben chugging along as corporate mascots in 2019? AJ is a straight-up minstrel show character -- there was a @uvapress book about this subject.
Are those brands so shaky that they'd fade without these characters fronting their packages?

Normal people either just get the generic store brand sugar syrup, or they get fancy and buy the real maple stuff. You have to be a real freak to spend more money and still be eating corn syrup
