Thread regarding PepsiCo Inc. (Pepsi) layoffs

Call to Convenience Store...
Buzz: "Hello do you have Aunt Jemima by the box"?
Store Clerk: "Yes we do"
Buzz: "Well you better let her go then"

I'm not buying that syrup... Man I wish I had the money and time to start my own syrup company and call it Aunt Jemima and put her picture back up. I bet I'd make a fortune. People would buy it. I'd also do land o lakes butter with the Indian in front. Yes I said Indian. No I'm not apologizing.

I for one wil never ever buy a product from a company that is so rediculous they didnt think someone actually had an Aunt Jemima. My Grandmother looked like her with white skin. Do you realize how ignorant cancel culture is? Nothing racist about an Aunt Jemima. Dont drink Pepsi products or your old new syrup.

Bring back Tropic Anna!

Frito better not be making crackers. As someone who is white, I may take offense to that.

Don't forget when the Pepsico marketing geniuses changed Diet Pepsi so the new Diet Pepsi tasted like metal, then after a year they went back to the old formula after they alienated millions of customers. They just don't learn.

Pearl Mining Company ??? , it's Pepsico history repeating itself. It's the same bunch that gave the world Flat Earth Veggie Chips back in 2008 with the Flying Pig as the logo...which went down in flames. Its the same crew that redesigned Tropicana packaging back in 2014 so it looked like cheap generic government surplus orange juice, not a premium brand and sales immediately plunged, so they went back to the old packaging in literally 2 months. Its the fastest I have ever seen the Pepsico bureaucracy move. At a town hall way back when people were questioning the big shots about the wisdom of portraying a fat and pork laden Flying Pig on Flat Earth packaging. They were told, in effect the marketing , ad agencies are the experts and know more than any peons could possibly know. The way I translated it was the big shots buddies, golf partners all worked in marketing and at the ad agencies. A junior achievement class could have done a better job than these highly paid "experts" . But again, Pepsico fails to learn from history, so they are doomed to relive it.

I always looked at Aunt Jemima and Uncle Bens, and even the Quaker Man with a sort of pride. I would look and imagine these hard working individuals overcoming great adversity and making it. It was a sort of inspiration to me. Someone is always going to be offended. I thought those brands showed diversity.

There is a famous Mexican chocolate brand that had the picture of an abueltia [Grand Mother]. I bet someone if offended by that.

Well the public is so impressed the stock is down 2%

I think they should change the name of OREOS
Racist to be black on the outside and white inside

They took the Indian out of Land of Lakes who I believe was not being portrayed as an Indian😞 A few people who get offended ruin it for the rest of the people who see the culture and diversity in having people from different backgrounds and different parts in history represent companies in the US. Part of the family of one of the Aunt Jemima ladies was very upset to see they gave into another family member stating he was offended. They saw the good in those ladies' roles and the opportunity it gave them financially that they would not have had otherwise. It was not demeaning, representing times when the black woman would serve the white folks, it was a friendly face encouraging people to buy a product, showing them a down to earth person with a warm personality serving breakfast to America - everyone of every color.
