Betty Crocker was a very famous baker in the 19th century, and is still very famous today. I happened to come across some stunning news though! So, you tell me what you think! Is Betty Crocker real? Well, in an Advanced Class that I take in school we had to study decades. The decade that came into my hands was the 1950's. So, I had to pick a person for this decade. My friend picked her for me, and she happened to pick... Betty Crocker! I decided to do a thorough research of her, because I had to answer an interview. So, I did.......................
You would not believe what I found out. OK, Betty Crocker is not a real person! I could not believe it! For years I have gone by the fact that she is a real person, but she wasn't. General Mills created her. They even made up a voice on a radio talk show. On the Internet I read that they used persona. Now that is a creative way to do marketing, and for SO many years some people have lived by the fact that she was real. "Betty Crocker" even got 4,000- 5,000 letters a day. So, just think of it a famous figure could be a fictitious character (in history)!

I enjoyed reading your blog! I did not know that Betty Crocker was not a real person. When I was a senior in high school I received the Betty Crocker Homemaker award. My family thought it was funny because I didn't really cook at that time. I won the award because I made the highest score on the Betty Crocker Homemaker test! It just goes to show that knowing something and being able to do can be 2 different things. Anyway, I enjoyed reading about your research!
Thanks for the comment! In fact your Betty Crocker story is very interesting, and very funny too! Also, did you know that the 4,000-5,000 letters that she got everyday included marriage proposals. Anyways, I have left a comment on your Bucket List post! Be sure to read it!
