Does the bottle have a best by or an expiration date which has passed? That is probably the reason it was pulled.

Relatives of Aunt Jemima actresses express concern history will be erased with rebranding - June 22, 2020

Relatives of former Aunt Jemima spokeswomen say they are concerned that their family history will be erased as Quaker Oats' moves to rebrand the syrup and pancake mix.

"I understand the images that white America portrayed us years ago. They painted themselves Black and they portrayed that as us," Vera Harris, whose great aunt, Lillian Richard, traveled the country promoting the Quaker Oats brand and portraying the Aunt Jemima character for more than 20 years, told NBC News. "I understand what Quaker Oats is doing because I'm Black and I don't want a negative image promoted, however, I just don't want her legacy lost, because if her legacy is swept under the rug and washed away, it's as if she never was a person."

Harris added that Richard was recruited to work for Quaker Oats in the 1920s, during a time when there were "no jobs for Black people, especially Black women."

"She took the job to make an honest living to support herself, touring around at fairs, cooking demonstrations and events," Harris said. "When she came back home, they were proud of her and we're still proud of her."

The most likely reason for you not being able to use the name is because the owner/maker of that syrup has let Ebay and other such sites know they will issue a cease and desist based on their ownership of the trademark “Aunt Jemima”.

She was a hero of the black community that is now marginalized as the race industry relies on expressions of Cultural Marxism for success.

Google is Marx.

Yet, people (including more than 50% of GOP officialdom) continue to trust . . . Marxists:

There is a very serious problem that’s spreading in the USA. It’s a mental disorder that causes a company to cancel a sale because the label on a product shows an image that some have decided is injurious to some people.

No human with a working mind could possibly do such a thing. There is no cure for this kind of insanity.

My maternal grandmother had an Aunt Jemima syrup dispenser. She would warm the syrup & pour it in. Just enough syrup for one pancake but that’s what grandmothers do. Been looking for one for years but you just don’t find them. AJ was a comforting part of my childhood.

You should have advertised as “Uncle Jememiah Trans Syrup”

You should have said you had a vintage bottle of Jemima Vanderbilt maple syrup and see what would happen.

It is absolute BS that they say “New name, same great taste. Aunt Jemima” on every box. If AJ is racist, get it off your box! “But, we don’t want to lose the brand recognition!” You start from scratch. Don’t trade on a “racist” name that you wanted to discard, you filthy hypocrites.

Try Mercari. It’s way better than eBay for the sellers. Just don’t try and sell anything from Cuba, they’ll pull that.
