‘Aunt Jemima’ relatives suing pancake company for $2B citing century-old agreement The great grandsons of Anna Short Harrington, who was hired as the American pancake icon in 1933, claim that her family is entitled to a percentage of the companys revenue every time her likeness was used. Theyre now seeking $2 billion in compensation, plus a share of future revenue. The lawsuit was filed in Chicago by two great-grandsons of Anna Short Harrington. The suit claims that Harrington and Green helped to create the recipe for the pancake mix, which was the first to be able to self-rise. They also say that Green was more than just a pretty face for the cover: She came up with the idea of adding powdered milk to make the pancakes taste better. nydailynews/news/national/aunt-jemima-relatives-suing-pancake-company-2b-article-1.1966633
