St. Christopher

One of those multi-talented saints is said to be St. Christopher. He is also revered as the protector saint of travelers and fruit merchants. His followers worship him, and his talisman is a popular item among tourists and believers alike. However, there is one major flaw: the chances of St. Christopher not being a genuine saint are extremely high. For decades, his existence has been a source of debate; whether he truly roamed the earth, we may never know.

Aunt Jemima

Surprisingly, Aunt Jemima did not exist. Her story is very similar to Betty Crockers. In the late 1800s, R.T Davis created the character of Aunt Jemima. It was originally used to promote a pancake mix, syrup, and other breakfast foods before being sold to Quaker Oats. The character drew a lot of criticism because it depicted Africans being exported. More recently, the character has been played by various actresses for advertising campaigns.
