Mrs. Butterworth’s® | Thick, Rich, Deliciously Sweet Syrup

 

I'll probably regret pointing out a couple of facts, but f it:

In 2003, Texas U.S. Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee complained because there weren't any ethnic names used for hurricanes.
In 2020, people complain because the name of some syrup sounds ethnic.

These are the facts. Do with them what you will. You can't please everybody.
For the record, I'd be happy to do away with hurricanes, and I buy store brand syrup.

 

pretty good example of what would happen if Jesus came back.

 

As Rust Cohl said... the light is winning.

Remember how dark it was.

 

Gotcha.

I never ate it as a child so I never saw the 70s or earlier boxes.

 

The price of doing business here.

 

If we get rid of Aunt Jemima, can we bring back Marylin Chambers for Ivory Snow?

 

I don’t recall anyone eating Cream of Wheat in Canada growing up. The first time I saw or heard of it was in a porno.

I won’t link it but if you google Night Dreams porno Cream of Wheat you get quite the scene.

Better eat it before it gets cold.

 

I thought Mrs. Butterworth was an old white lady?

 

Heh. She's a clear plastic (formerly glass) bottle that looks ethnic because it's filled with dark syrup.
