Driving to Disneyland


Jun 18, 2020

Kristen and Catherine get into some sticky syrup: did you know Aunt Jemima's Kitchen was a restaurant at Disneyland?  We go full history-mode in this episode, and learn the fascinating origins of the Aunt Jemima character from 1800's minstrelsy, plus we discover how she made it all the way to 1950's Disneyland... and stayed there.  And apparently we had good timing, because the times they are a-changin': Quaker Oats has just promised to change the Aunt Jemima brand once and for all.

And once more for the people in the back: Black Lives Matter! :)
