Visit https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm Visit our website www.PeriscopeFilm.com Dating to the 1960s, this TV commercial presents the new Aunt Jemima Frozen Toaster Waffles and the famous Aunt Jemima Syrup, "They sunny up a rainy day." At :35, an ad for Minutemaid Orange Juice, a frozen concentrate, is shown, "The Best There Is." The Aunt Jemima brand dates to 1889 and became one of the most recognized brands in US history. Nancy Green portrayed Aunt Jemima at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, one of the first Black corporate models in the United States. The Aunt Jemima character shown here, with a bandana or scarf on her head, is based on the enslaved "Mammy" archetype. The character was criticized as an example of exploited African American women. In 2017, Aunt Jemima Frozen Waffles were discontinued in the wake of a production safety issue. In 2020, in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement, the owner of the Aunt Jemima brand announced that Aunt Jemima would be retired "to make progress toward racial equality."
