Hey Mike, you may find this interesting: I was raised Quaker, and I can't speak for everybody, but back when I was going to meeting regularly (we call our churches "meetings") multiple people there voiced their distaste for the Quaker Oats brand name and mascot. After speaking with some of the other parishioners about this I got worked up enough to write an angry letter to the company demanding they change their name and logo (I was an idealistic teenager). They responded and were polite and everything, but I was still pretty peeved. I did think it was funny they responded. One of the points of contention is the portrayal on the oat packaging of what seems to be a 17th or 18th-century Quaker wearing blue clothing, which was forbidden at the time because blue dye was almost exclusively produced by chattel slave labor, under conditions that were extremely hazardous to the enslaved people, so Quakers mostly steered clear of blue clothing for centuries (or so I'm told). Quakers are also on the whole generally anti-consumerist, so that contributed to the dislike of the brand as well - it can be seen as antithetical to the religion to have a huge company named after us. I was aware of some of the entanglements and acquisitions in your video, but not all of them. I was particularly surprised by Jos. A. Banks and Fisher Price! Very interesting. If my old Sunday school teacher sees your video he may faint! 😳lol To be clear, above I'm referring to the more traditional type of Quakers (unprogrammed tradition). A lot of this stuff (maybe all of it?) might not apply to the less traditional Quakers (programmed tradition). Very informative video as per usual!

I’m surprised you didn’t mention their foray into motion pictures. There was a popular children’s book about chocolate that a director by the name of Mel Stuart wanted to adapt into a film. As it happened, a producer associate of his (David L. Wolper) just so happened to already be talking to Quaker about the possibility of producing a film as a way to advertise a new chocolate bar (Quaker having just purchased a small candy company), and Stuart and Wolper convinced Quaker to purchase the film rights to the book and make a new chocolate bar named after the one in it. Oh, the book’s name? “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”. They changed it to “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” to tie it in better with Quaker’s Wonka Bar, which ironically ended up being a complete failure (it had a tendency to melt on store shelves, leading to recalls) while the elaborate commercial for it would go on to be one of the most beloved family films of all time.

An idea for another company to look at. McCormick. It's a company who's name and logo we see in just about every-single-store in the US. Their herbs and spices are EVERYWHERE. They are basically the #1 brand for herbs and spices, or at least, it feels that way. And Like myself, I bet most of us don't know anything about them. It's just the name we have seen most of our lives, so we continue to use their brand, since their brand is all we've ever really used.

@2lostbikes Год назад

Since I've started eating more oatmeal about two years ago, I always see the same situation play out on supermarket shelves. The store brand tubs of oatmeal sell out quickly while the Quaker Oats brand oatmeal tubs don't sell very well. The QO brand is consistently much more expensive by a factor of $2-$3. They'd be wise to lower their prices since, you know, oats are oats. There's not a lot of fussing over the taste between different brands.

As a research chemist for QO Chemicals in the 80's and 90's I definitely associate Quaker Oats with chemicals. I never actually worked for them while they were owned by Quaker as I started right after the spin-off and the relocation of their R&D lab from Barrington, IL to Memphis, TN but basically everyone else I worked with had. It was sold again not long after I started there and our headquarters and R&D lab were moved to Indiana and I went with it. The division went down the tubes throughout the 90's and we were all eventually laid off. There are vestiges of the company still left but after multiple bankruptcies and sale of important product lines it's pretty much dead now and exists only as a trademark.

You forgot to mention Quaker Oats was making chocolate bars, and they even financed the Willy Wonka movie, they later sold their movie production to Warner Bros and chocolate business to Nestle! I’m glad they didn’t cancel the Quaker Oats mascot! The snowflakes tried to cancel the mascot because of false claims of racism! The iconic mascot isn’t even hurting anyone!
