Betty Crocker
Betty Crocker was never a real person, but rather a fictional character created by the company (of the same name) that were used for their ad campaigns. In 1936, the portrait of Betty Crocker was commissioned to be used on packaging. The name Betty was chosen as it was an all-American name that sounded cheerful.
