Aunt Jemima and Mrs. Butterworth: friendly rivals or bitter enemies?

[Lavender Brown]

I've always wondered. :shrug:

[Bunny]

1. Bitter rivals.

And I'd put $20 on Mrs. B. I think she'd kick the shit out of Aunt J!!

[GOPisEvil]

2. Jemima come-lately!!!

Mrs. B. was making syrup LONG before ol' Auntie J. Auntie J. should stick to her pancakes and leave the syrup to the professionals!

:silly:

[shawmut]

3. Whatever you do, don't ever put them in the same cabinet

I leave it at that.

[soothsayer]

4. rivals over this guy, maybe?

[JVS]

15. Fighting over a monk? How wicked and sinful!

[ET Awful]

5. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter, they both come home to

[Blue-Jay]

6. Secret lovers.

Aunt Jemima kinda ruined that name, didn't she? Do you know anyone named Jemima?

[Lavender Brown]

7. No Americans named Jemima

I think it might be more common in pancake-less countries.

8. Why not ask Uncle Ben?

Surely he would know.

By the way, did you hear about this:

Pillsbury Obituary
Veteran Pillsbury spokesman Pop N. Fresh died yesterday of a severe yeast infection. He was 71.

Fresh was buried in one of the largest funeral ceremonies in recent years. Dozens of celebrities turned out,including Mrs. Butterworth, Uncle Ben, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, Sara Lee and the Hostess Twinkies. The graveside was piled with flours as longtime friend, Aunt Jemima, delivered the eulogy, describing Fresh as a man who "never knew how much he was kneaded. Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with many turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model for millions. Fresh is survived by his second wife; they have two children and one in the oven. The funeral was held at 3:50 for 20 minutes.

But neither believes the other exists. Both in deep state of denial.
