I thought the breakfast gun went on the left side of the table?
- The table isn't set for breakfast yet.
  
  What are you talking about? The breakfast gun is there. Table set.
  /s
- Probably AI made
  
  Probably a la mode'
- Only if you're a lefty.
  Cross-drawing at the table is rude.
- No no, breakfast gun goes on the right side, what's wrong is it's laying the wrong way.
  
  This guy eats breakfast safely
- Clearly this is propaganda!
- 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 think you might be having a stroke.

Reminds me of land o lakes butter. They got rid of the indian but they kept the land.
- They ruined it!
  
  My dad did that in the late 70s and had it inside one of our kitchen cabinets for basically my whole childhood.
- 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?"
- 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.
- As is tradition.

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.
  
  Maple is good, but sometimes I want my butter flavored brown goop on my plain egg and bread French toast because that's one of the two childhood comfort foods I crave to this day

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.
  
  No one better fucking cancel Guy Fieri or so help me I will kick their ass six ways from Flavortown
- They already made Guy Fieri bro

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."
- It's not about associating the brand with black people. Aunt Jemima was a mammy, straight out of a ministrel show. She was a racist stereotype of the loving and attentive house slave
  
  They could have come up with a new character...instead they got rid of it all together. Just say its Jemima's niece who carries on the recipe.
  
  No, she was an accurate depiction of actual Black Southern grandmas, both pre and post slavery. The whole "this represents slavery" thing was bullshit cooked up by white people. My 3rd grade teacher looked EXACTLY like Aunt Jemima and she made some bomb-ass cookies.

Was really confused why you would prefer plastic over glass, but then i understood what was meant by "her".
- 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
  
  Yeah exactly, what really makes it worth it are the microplastics!
- ELI5?
  
  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.
  
  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.
  
  Read the wiki https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aunt_Jemima
  Brand was discontinued in 2020 due to racial stereotyping.

That handgun looks like a rare 1911 Commander made by Ruger manufactured in Southport, CT. Those things are not cheap.
- Well one of you is wrong.
- That grip angle looks uncomfortable
  
  Depends on the person

Americans and their high fructose corn syrup addiction.
- 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.
- 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.
- HFCS doesn't kill people, it's the cardiac diseases and cancers that do!

Last time I saw white people get this fanatical over a black woman it was because she was handing them free minivans.

This actually came out a few days before the brand change: https://www.theonion.com/quaker-oats-replaces-historically-racist-aunt-jemima-ma-1844015205

I don't think Mr. Butterworth would appreciate you filling his wife with your syrup.

Putting a pig in a dress doesnt change the pig
- But what if you put lipstick on it
  
  Still a pig

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

Is that an original tanker's 1911?!
- It's some Star model pistol, looks like a 1911 but not quite, and in 9mm.
  
  Are you able to read the stamp, or is there some other way you can tell?

That pistol appears to be cocked and not locked (safety off). I seriously hope there's no round chambered.

She's YOUR property after all.

On investing in better materials that are better for people and the environment. The other marketing..

Diabetes? Yes, that's how it works... Once you have it they won't be able to take her away from you
- Well Wilford my Brimley and call me a doctor...that there is liquid Dia-Beetus
