OK Ed, I’ll take a shot at it.
Aunt Jenna pancakes without Aunt Jemima syrup is like spring without fall.
The only thing worse is no Aunt Jemima at all. (If I only paid as close
attention to my teachers as I did TV)
Doesn’t sound quite the same when you sub in Pearl Milling Company. I have to
fess up that when I first read the article about changing the name, I thought
they must be somehow related to the Pearl Brewing Company.
I’ll take Groad’s sissy drink of Four Roses Barrel Proof bourbon on the
rocks. My personal favorite as well.

That was my supposition.... it's the only logical reason that they could
have used to pick such a generic, plain-jane name.

Bill, there is a corporate narrative for new name. They claim it is even
historical!

It was recently announced that the Aunt Jemima brand, which was slated for
retirement due to social issues, has now officially been "rebranded" as
Pearl Milling Company.
I'm hoping that there's some sort of corporate or organizational
significance to the new name, because it sure is generic. I could have come
up with five new names for them in five minutes that are better than Pearl
Milling Company.

Very bored in DFW. We are doing OK.
Friends have no power, frozen water pipes, daughter in Houston has no water,
daughter in Austin, no heat for 3 days, friend slipped on ice broke elbow,
another friend with flooded downstairs.
We had power for breakfast! Wife made Aunt Jemima pancakes. Mmm!
OK I will buy a sissy drink for the first BQ buddy who can tell us the
lyrics of the 1967 Aunt Jemima commercial jingle.
