I know a lady that sent in her idea for using (Pillsbury?) crescent rolls & pie filling to make turnovers (probably early 60s). It was some sort of contest. My grandmother also used her idea. She never heard back, but some time later, pre-packaged turnover "kits" appeared in the refrigerator sections of stores.
I made Bsqk for 5 years for General Mills...only the 2nd Black person to work in the dept. But even so, those where 5 of the best years of my life. I still inspect the 1x3 trays when I go to Sam's club lol.
@@sweeteuthiedoll You're welcome! I'm thinking about trying to find a recipe for a healthier alternative universal baking mix. All of the few that I've seen in the store so far have been ridiculously overpriced for a stingy amount of product. My problem has been that most of the common recipes.that I've tried at hom e have an unpleasant aftertaste from baking powder of soda no matter how carefully I sift and mix it. That's the main advantage of bisquick. You don't get unpleasant flavors or textures. So I've got to try to find one again or a cheaper bagged or boxed mix soon.
I don't think you've influenced anybody other than pissing a bunch of us off. I will continue to buy Bisquick and Uncle Ben's, Aunt Jemima, Land o Lakes ....
So a black guy mixed flower water and lard in a train car one day and supposedly that's a contribution to society? Well I guess that's way better than potable water electricity medicine automobiles radio or just about anything else that actually matters, I mean it's not like no one would have ever done it before or could have without this guy right? And yes they didn't put blacks in their marketing because they weren't trying to pander to them, and yes in 1934 when they did they portrayed them as servants because they were......
What was stopping the black cook from marketing his idea? (If it was his idea) Don't say racism because there were former slaves who became millionaires.
@@mcmd2009 It's easier to capitalize on an idea if you already have money. That's why there are professional investors. Even if you have the patent, if you can't afford to produce your idea, you can't make much money off of it.
My main problem with Bisquick is the outrageous price. It's way more expensive than the sum of its ingredients. I make my own baking mix and it's way less expensive. As for the racist angle, it's from an era when racism was socially acceptable. It's not surprising to find it in every aspect of our history.
I don't know what you did to Bisquick but it is not the Bisquick I have been using for years and it tastes and performs horribly. Will be throwing it out and never buying it again.
I opened this video thinking I was going to learn something interesting... but nope. I'm starting to get really sick of hearing about racism from a 100 or more years ago. I would never knowingly buy from a company that is blatantly racist today. But I wasn't alive 100 years ago & the people who did these things are long dead. Just like the aunt jemima crap, it will not change what I buy
There is no reason to give the black guy credit. He didn’t invent the cooking Materials he was using. He was following instructions. Nor did he take take it to be mass produced. He could have done that a long time before, like all the other kitchen workers around the country that used the same pre-mix. People who mass produce products that the rest of us have seen and used don’t owe the rest of us credit. They are doing something that we decided not to do. It was ford that started to mass produce cars. He doesn’t owe anyone credit for what he brought to the table, not the original inventor of the car nor anyone that stood by while the opportunity passed them buy. . The black guy chose to interact with the product and share it with the public in his way, that is through making it available to train passengers and the white guy made it available to the public in another way, in the form of mass production. People need to get over themselves.
Why get into all this...I thought this was non stressfull...but its all negative ....there is no transfat by the way. Thought this would be happy stuff):
