Aunt Jemima got its start in 1889 when Chris Rutt and Charles Underwood developed Aunt Jemima, the first ready mix. In 1890 R.T. Davis bought the company and brought Aunt Jemima to life by hiring a live spokeswoman, Nancy Green. In 1926 the Quaker Oats Company bought Aunt Jemima and that is where it has been ever since. At this time Aunt Jemima was known only for its pancakes but in 1968, waffles and syrup were thrown into Aunt Jemima’s breakfast entourage. Today you can find a variety of Aunt Jemima’s breakfast meals to add to your morning.

DID YOU KNOW? There have been 7 spokeswomen who have been portrayed as Aunt Jemima.
