Have you heard?  Aunt Jemimah and Uncle Ben have eloped, or at least they will soon ride off into the sunset together.  This really doesn't bother me at all.  I haven't bought either product for years and I do think they are names that need to go.  However, It has me wondering what about Mrs. Butterworth?  She looks brown because the syrup in the bottle is brown and she's actually always reminded me of my sweet, chubby Aunt Dora.  But maybe food continers don't need people shapes and names.  That leaves me wondering what names they may come up with.  Simply Syrup?  Regular Rice?  Good Enough for Waffles?  Maybe, instead of people pictures,shapes and names, food producers should think about using animal shapes.  I mean Honey Bears have worked well for years.
