What is the history of Mrs. Butterworth's syrup?

Answer 1

Mrs. Butterworth's Brand History Mrs. Butterworth's® distinctive grandmother shaped bottle has been making kids smile for over 40 years. She is the original talking bottle of syrup and continues to delight kids with her promise of the thickest, richest, buttery syrup available.

For generations, the wonderful TV commercials have portrayed Mrs. Butterworth as a lovely elderly woman who is as sweet as the syrup inside her bottle. She suddenly comes to life at the breakfast table and delights kids with her conversation -- always explaining to them that "I taste so good because I am thick and rich, in fact I am thicker than the other leading brand". Now, in 2008, she continues this tradition as she is asked by a skeptical modern child of today to provide "proof of being so thick and rich". As always, she succeeds in convincing the child and winning him over with her charm and playfulness. At the end of the commercial she reminds all of us that she is "so thick, so buttery and still just as sweet"

Overtime, the Mrs. Butterworth character has become a pop culture icon. Her character was turned into a large hot air balloon and paraded around numerous state fairs throughout the country. She has also been in numerous TV shows and movies including CBS' The Prisoner, and more recently the feature film 40 days and 40 nights. Product Description
