PepsiCo said on Tuesday its pancake mix and syrup products would be sold under the new name “Pearl Milling Company” after the company dropped the “Aunt Jemima” brand logo last year, acknowledging its roots in a racial stereotype. Fred Katayama reports

It has become ridiculous.  When will it stop?  I used to live on a street named Cherokee will that name have to be changed one day?

Oh my lord this is so stupid.  I won't even buy these products anymore if I can help it - if her grandson wasn't offended why was someone else? Stupid.

Personally, I have to agree.  I think perhaps people can be oversensitive.

It's a stupid thing  advertising  ploy. They should offer a free coupon for this new  product with a weird name.
