I thought the breakfast gun went on the left side of the table?
The table isn’t set for breakfast yet.
No no, breakfast gun goes on the right side, what’s wrong is it’s laying the wrong way.
Probably AI made
So from is in the left because there is for letters in left and four in fork. So what side does the gun go?
I really wish someone would create a “loud honky” brand mascot…
Guy Fieri?
I came here for a sensible chuckle, not to have my fucking mind blown.
The good ol Carolina Mop and Slop.
That’s not a euphemism.
All that drama for dyed corn syrup.
Real maple syrup is better. Fight me.
No one in their right mind would disagree with your position.
I might be the 10th dentist but I grew up with the fake stuff and enjoy it far more. I didn’t understand why all of the “nice syrups” tasted awful comparatively.
On an episode of Kitchen Nightmares, Gordon Ramsay gave this chef two similar dishes, and I believe the chef enjoyed the one that tasted like instant microwave food. So you probably just have shit taste. Fortunately, once Ramsay cooked some good food up for the guy, he shed tears and loved it. There is hope for you yet.
Some board room somewhere
Bossman "Alright team, what should we change to ensure our company is not seen as racist according to white people on twitter?
Person 1 “Increase represtation of different races and cultures across our brands?” ejector seat activated
Person 2 “Hire someone qualified to have this conversion?” ejector seat activated
Person 3 "Get rid of Aunt Jemima so people don’t accosiate our brand with black people anymore?
Bossman “brilliant! Someone get me a raise for coming up with that.”
This actually came out a few days before the brand change: https://www.theonion.com/quaker-oats-replaces-historically-racist-aunt-jemima-ma-1844015205
Reminds me of land o lakes butter. They got rid of the indian but they kept the land.
What I love, is that it was an Ojibwe woman that was illustrated by an Ojibwe. It was done out of honor and respect…
Then someone decided to get rid of her… Feel free to read into that.
This, the woman behind Aunt Jemima has a pretty progressive history as well. This just reaks of the usual problems we get from Liberal Virtue Signalling. Creating something incredibly offensive in a poor attempt to be less offensive.
Remember when Cartoon Network discontinued Speedy Gonzales because white people called the character racist, only to reinstate him when Latino and Hispanic watchers were like “Where’s the only Looney Tune that represents us in anyway?”
Some company decided to change their logo because it looks dated and might give the wrong impression. How is this even a problem?
They ruined it!
Bart Simpson made that joke once, I think they cut it out of future re-runs because religious zealots got mad about it.
Ah, so he did! I’d forgotten about that. The first time I saw it was in a Beavis and Butt-head comic.
THAT is absolutely the same “point” I made when I first saw it?!!
Ok, so, the person was bad to show, I guess, but now it’s an even better analogy to what the settlers did…
I honestly don’t know why “it’s bad to show”. Like, if the person on the packet isn’t a white man, it’s bad.
We had these growing up in Australia…
Like, that I get now, but it’s worth pointing out no kid in Australia obviously even knew what a “redskin” was. Hell, I thought Comanches and Apaches were snakes because of the Huey Cobra.
Wait a second… Oh my god, just realised a Blackhawk isn’t named after a hawk, this is also a native American peoples. Like the NHL team, duh. And that’s my wife’s second fav team because she thinks it’s a cool logo and “I’m glad they’re repping the native Americans.”
See?
Anyway, I strayed from my point. I really like seeing other cultures on stuff. Seems a shame to remove that stuff, kind of disingenuous or disrespectful. If there’s a dark history, no one’s researching that, they’re more interested in other things like buttering some toast and then deciding to put a documentary about native Americans on because of the cool image.
This is pretty much how I feel about it. Heck my ancestry is French and I’m still salty as hell over Pepe LePew vanishing from existence.
Maybe if your only reference to a culture is an insulting one, they’d rather you not have an impression at all. Though I dunno much about Australia. That bunch of bogans seem to like people to think bad about them.

This would be true if what you were seeing was culturally representative. “Redskin” is a racial slur and the images on that package are racist caricatures. All of it was created by white men, using Native Americans as mascot for their product.
These images were not created by or for Native Americans, and they are racist and insulting.
The most disrespectful thing you could do is to keep using images like this. The most disingenuous thing you could do is argue that they earnestly represent the cultures they depict.
I don’t see how that’s racism. There’s no discrimination of traits, assertion of superiority or inferiority of races, and it’s actually being used to help sell a product and brand identity which requires.positivity.and.attraction from others.
Culturally inappropriate? Sure, could be. That’s up to that culture to determine and advise though. But we know the artist was also of the same group of indigenlus people.
The artist responsible for redesigning the Land O’Lakes logo in 1954 and creating the iconic image of the Native American woman was Patrick DesJarlait. DesJarlait was an Ojibwe artist from Red Lake, Minnesota, and his design has become closely associated with the Land O’Lakes brand.
Ask yourself why Aunt Jemima was chosen long ago. What stereotype did she represent? What is her back story supposed to be? … That is the obvious starting point.
I don’t think it’s hard to connect the dots on this one.
As a general position, hiring a minority to produce art doesn’t mean that all uses of the art are positive.
Unless you’re talking specifically to an anti racist audience, you really gotta explain what revisionist history mammy meant for those who want to whitewash the antebellum south.
Americans and their high fructose corn syrup addiction.
American manufacturers. We’re stuck with what we get and that shit’s in everything.
Most anyone you’d ask here will tell you they prefer sugar and we’ll take that option whenever it’s available and not stupidly expensive.
It’s the cheapest sugar option in the us, so it goes in everything that’s not a “premium” brand, and even then it might still have it in there.
And products that “remove” it replace it with glucose-fructose, or sometimes even pure fructose, which hilariously shows both that companies don’t give a fuck, AND consumers are really stupid on average.
Both things can be true.
Was really confused why you would prefer plastic over glass, but then i understood what was meant by “her”.
ELI5?
Aunt Jemima as a brand was discontinued as it was based on a racist stereotype. The person in the picture is decanting fake maple syrup into an old Aunt Jemima bottle.
It’s funnier when you say it
The Aunt Jemima brand was changed to Pearl Milling Company due to it being based on a racist charicture. Pearl Milling Company was the name of the company before they created the Aunt Jemima brand, in the late 1800s. Upset by this change, this fellow is pouring syrup into an old Aunt Jemima brand bottle, and implicitly threatening violence against whoever would try to stop him. However, he is using Millville brand, which as far as I can tell is unrelated to the Pearl Milling Company.
Millville is an Aldi store brand. The origins of Aldi store brands are kept secret, but there’s a decent chance that it’s made by Pearl Milling
For something slow moving and sticky like fake maple syrup, a plastic bottle will let you squeeze the syrup out instead of waiting for it to slowly drip down to the nozzle.
You can warm the bottle to make is more viscous. Old plastic bottles would make me worried about micro plastic, but micro plastic is already in all the cells in my body so I should stop caring
I think you mean less viscous? Isn’t more viscosity = more thickness?
Is that an original tanker’s 1911?!
It’s some Star model pistol, looks like a 1911 but not quite, and in 9mm.
That handgun looks like a rare 1911 Commander made by Ruger manufactured in Southport, CT. Those things are not cheap.
Unironically this, I’m sorry they want to decrease visibility of black people and call that fighting racism?
We can’t have Aunt Jemima, but Captain Crunch’s cracker ass is still joining us for breakfast?
That man has a ship and cannons, he does whatever the fuck he wants
That pistol appears to be cocked and not locked (safety off). I seriously hope there’s no round chambered.
Putting a pig in a dress doesnt change the pig
A buddy of mine and I did some research into the real-life aunt Jemima.
Apparently she was a really cool lady.
The African American Registry of the United States suggests Nancy Green and others who played the caricature of Aunt Jemima should be celebrated despite what has been widely condemned as a stereotypical and racist brand image. The registry wrote, “We celebrate the birth of Nancy Green in 1834. She was a Black storyteller and one of the first Black corporate models in the United States.”
Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for the black population. She used her stature as a spokesperson to advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for individuals in Chicago.
I saw news reporting about it at the time, and if I recall correctly her descendants were actually proud of her being the mascot and thought it was cool.
Reminds me of when they tried to kill Speedy Gonzales. It sure as heck wasn’t mexicans that were complaining then, we love that little mofo.
“Her descendants like her image being on the syrup bottles! BUT THAT’S A HECKIN RACISM!”
Last time I saw white people get this fanatical over a black woman it was because she was handing them free minivans.
