The Aunt Jemima brand was changed to Pearl Milling Company due to it being based on a racist charicture. Pearl Milling Company was the name of the company before they created the Aunt Jemima brand, in the late 1800s.
Upset by this change, this fellow is pouring syrup into an old Aunt Jemima brand bottle, and implicitly threatening violence against whoever would try to stop him.
However, he is using Millville brand, which as far as I can tell is unrelated to the Pearl Milling Company.
Aunt Jemima as a brand was discontinued as it was based on a racist stereotype. The person in the picture is decanting fake maple syrup into an old Aunt Jemima bottle.
What are you talking about? It’s not fake maple syrup at all, but 100% real SYRUP, a completely and separate product no one would ever accidentally confuse for maple syrup when they’re in a hurry at the grocery store.
A bottle of this is like $3, real maple syrup in that size container would be more like $18, so these people really need to be ignorant or stupid to get confused.
ELI5?

Millville is an Aldi store brand. The origins of Aldi store brands are kept secret, but there’s a decent chance that it’s made by Pearl Milling
It could be the very same product. It could also be made at the same factory but to aldis specifications.

It’s funnier when you say it

Never rush your syrup choices.
