For many, Mrs. Butterworth’s conjures up memories of happy mornings filled with pancakes, waffles, and French toast… Hot off the griddle, few things can perfectly top off morning delights better than the amber-hued contents inside that grandma-shaped bottle. To many, there is hardly a time imaginable where there wasn’t Mrs. Butterworth’s, but the fact is, she’s only been giving us her sweet, buttery syrup for only a little over 40 years!
To promote the thick and rich buttery syrup, commercials featuring the matronly bottle started appearing. Kids, unconvinced that Mrs. Butterworth’s was any good would be caught up in the hypnotic trance of a talking syrup bottle! In one famous commercial, Kim Fields, who played Tootie in The Facts of Life, tells it how it is; “Mrs Butterworth, I looooooooove you.”
And who could blame her? It’s a little hard not to love Mrs. Butterworth. Her classic bottle shape with a label that doubles as an apron is hard to resist, especially when a fresh flapjack finds its way onto your plate.
