I was surprised to learn that there was never just one Betty Crocker, but many, all created by ad agencies. The food is real, and many Pantry customers miss being able to buy it. I call these morale foods.

Betty leads our Comfort Food Campaign, which has turned out to be one of our strongest. I’m learning that lots of people remember Comfort Food.

It’s a sweet role to have; it means so much to people struggling to get enough food for their families.

Betty Crocker is a fictional, iconic character created in 1921 by the company that became General Mills to serve as a trustworthy person for answering questions – a kind of comfort advertising that really stuck. She was never a real person but a highly successful image. The Pantry families are constantly asking for her. We oblige them. They have the right to get the food they want, and thanks.
