HelpRe: WDYTO Jemima?
in reply to a message by tilltheend
I used to not be able to think of anything but the syrup, and I also know it has sort of a bad image in the US. But I just love the sound of it, and I have been enjoying it recently. It's so rich. I do like it, and too bad it really can't be used here because I'd love to see it around!

It's a very common brand of maple syrup and pancake mix here. And so it's tied to the old image of the woman on the logo:

The logo isn't so stereotypical/racist anymore, but that's still what people think of.
Mmm, now I want pancakes! :)
