      When I first heard Pearl Milling Company was the new name I balked. It sounded like a fake “old timey” name.

      Turns out it was actually the original name of the company before they switched to Aunt Jemima! Oh and Aunt Jemima wasn’t even their original brand creation, they appropriated it from posters for a vaudeville show.

      I did not even know that. A better solution is to just say no to corn syrup products. Actual maple syrup tastes much better
