I hear they still sell the classic stuff in Mexico. 😁
And to make amends in the meantime, I think we should start a campaign to change Betty Crocker into Barry Crocker- the spitting image of a grown-up Little Sambo.
Or, Barry Cracker, the spitting image of a grown-up Little Sambo.
Years ago, we would eat at Black Sambo's Restaurants in CA.;
Yeah, that was one of my first red pills. Especially after I learned that the character was from India.
There's still one Sambo's left. In Santa Barbara, I think.
Used to go to the one in Downey, (I think it was Downey.)
Don't mess with Betty Crocker. She's my cousin. At least her radio show voice was my cousin.
That's pretty cool. You've convinced me. The change.org petition is officially cancelled. After all, I don't want to offend anyone.
(I have a Betty Crocker cookbook from the 60's. It's full of great stuff like "If you care about pleasing a man--- bake a pie. But make it a perfect pie." Good recipes, too, and without ads.)
Here's my cousin's obit. She was 99 when she died, and her tombstone says she was the "voice of Betty Crocker."
"Betty Bucholz Voice of Betty Crocker ALBION, N.Y. Betty Bucholz died May 24. She was 99. Born Agnes Barbara Lutz in Princeton, she lived in New York City, Fillmore, Calif., Chicago, and Connecticut. She was the radio voice of Betty Crocker for many years on NBC Radio Network’s "Cooking School of the Air." She was the daughter of parents who emigrated from Germany in 1900 and from an early age helped her father in his Princeton bakery. During her youth in Princeton she worked as a baby sitter, personal secretary and secretary to the Princeton Summer School. She played women’s basketball at Princeton High School. In 1923 she moved to Greenwich Village in Manhattan and was a "greeting hostess" for a radio station later becoming a morning announcer and hostess for its "Women’s Hour" show. In 1927 the NBC affiliate began to broadcast "Cooking School of the Air" and she became one of five or six Betty Crockers across the country who announced 15 minutes of recipes and homespun philosophy. In 1929 she moved to California to join her new husband in his newspaper publishing business, the Fillmore Herald. After the paper failed during the Great Depression she returned to broadcasting in Los Angeles. In 1934 General Mills named her the single national voice of Betty Crocker and she moved to Chicago, hosting NBC’s "Cooking School of the Air" three times a week for the next 17 years. She received upwards of 5,000 letters a week from the show’s million members. Announcers included Hugh Downs, Vincent Peleteri and Don Ameche. In 1951 she moved to New York and took the role of Anne Marshall, Campbell Soup’s national media voice. She worked for the Eisenhower presidential campaign in 1952 and retired from broadcasting in 1955. She volunteered for Reading for the Blind in Great Neck, N.Y. and the Connecticut State Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped in Hartford, Conn. Daughter of the late Jacob and Anne Lutz wife of the late Arden Bucholz, she is survived by son and daughter-in-law Arden and Sue Bucholz of Waterport, N.Y.; brothers Jake Lutz of Princeton and Carl Lutz of Winsted, Conn.; grandsons Merritt Bucholz of Dublin, Ireland and Mark Bucholz of New York City; and two great-granddaughters. Memorial services will be held in Princeton later this year."
A lovely testament. For what it's worth, I can tell you that Fillmore, CA is still a nice town despite the approach of Los Angeles. It sounds like you have fond memories of her. I am sorry I never heard the show.
I slept with Betty Crocker. Got a yeast infection
I really tried to come up with a snappy reply, but I got nothing. :)
