    How has the Pearl Milling Company done since its name change?

    Poorly, I hope!

    It's more likely there is no change of note. The actual name of
    the company that appears isn't as much a concern at the quality
    of the content of the cans.

    I meant I hope people recognise the name change as Woke virtue signalling and refuse to buy the items with a new name.

    I haven't checked, but I would imagine few care. I don't see how
    removing the word soup would be "woke." Is anyone suggesting soup is
    an offensive word?

    I was referring to the renaming of "Aunt Jermima" and "Uncle Ben's".

    I used to buy Aunt Jemima yellow corn meal. I had no problem with the
    name. I have since bought Pearl Milling Company yellow corn meal. I
    have no problem with the name change. Since we became empty nesters, I >haven't bought their pancake mix, and never bought their crappy syrup.
    Woke is basically good, but extreme woke is fucking goofy.

    I did not see his original post (and thank you, Janet, for snipping his
    usual sex obsessed crap).

    Campbell's removing the word "soup" from the label happened last year,
    2024. It's not news. I doubt it will have any affect on sales for
    people who buy canned soup.
