Who had racist sugar water as the next hypocritical tribal conservative hill to die on?

We just have eucalyptus trees here

We have cacti here.

A brand that "just happened" to be named after it's owner and founder? C'mon.

I know, what a crazy claim eh? But there really was a geezer who had that surname and founded a cheese company. They even called the process he came up with “cooning” in the industry

I’m a Bega person myself. Coon is too mild for my tastes

I imagine cactus syrup is pretty unpleasant, too

I know that was the guy's name. I was questioning the implication that they chose a racist name deliberately, and that the founders name "just happened" to be the same. If IO misunderstood you, I apologise.

The name doesn’t really have the same cultural connotations in Australiastan, though. So given that the gentleman in question is American not Aussie, it might have been deliberate or it might have been just an unfortunate coincidence, I’m not sure. I was just being snarky

I suppose that's a reason...not good enough for me, though.

I can remember, many years ago when I lived in a children's home in Ottawa that had a fabulous woods as part of the property, tapping the trees in early March, then collecting the sap and boiling it down. (You actually reduce it by a factor of about 40 -- so 40 litres of sap gives you 1 litre of maple syrup.)

And then, if you're lucky and have had a fresh snowfall, you poor a line of hot syrup into the snow where it immediately solidifies into a wonderful treat -- infinitely better than any candy bought in a store. I did that so many times when I was a kid -- it's still a magical part of my life.

I used to live near a maple farm and do know of the wonder and joy that is the hot syrup poured in snow.
I don't see how fake syrup that is "maple flavored" is still in existence.

At least around here, real maple syrup is more expensive per fluid ounce, and if you don't know any better, quantity is usually a better buy, if on a limited budget...

I'd rather just make homemade than buy the fake syrup.

Nope, it's more like:

Conservatives: "Pancakes!?! What the... Man, I thought the liberals were dumb just not that dumb. Oh well, learn something new every day."

But, that's sort of the gist of what I've heard them say about it. Most conservatives don't consume that garbage because it's not real maple syrup, lol. Regardless, I'd recommend you'd stop taking interpretations of conservatives views from liberal sites as they're untrue. I've only heard them mocking or what the heck as the response. They certainly don't care about Aunt Jemima's fake as all hell syrup.

I just think they should change the name to Aunt Karen's and put a big goofy haired white girl on the front of the bottle. Why waste an opportunity to troll with your brand?

So mega conglomerates and liberals all collectively speak for one another now?

Still doesn’t make it any less awkward to communicate to an American that “Coon cheese is popular but not my favourite.”

Would be even more awkward if you read out what it says on the packaging...

 

[Lyndon]

The ABC said Mr Coon was a low level employee of the company and nothing to do with the founder at all

Hell if I know. All sources I’ve found is that he patterned the technique still used by the company today. How high ranking, I’m not sure.
But I mean its probably more relevant to Americans. We don’t even have raccoons here lol

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coon_cheese

"Coon cheese is named after its American creator, Edward William Coon (1871–1934) of Philadelphia, who patented a method, subsequently known as the Cooning process, for fast maturation of cheese via high temperature and humidity."

Now, if you want a REALLY awkward conversation, try talking about the spectator stand named after this guy; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Brown

Products will no longer have black people on it. Just white people like Chef Boyardee.

Aunt Jemima was a character in a minstrel song before she was a corporate logo.

Chef Boy-ar-dee was the company's founder:
