Mrs. Butterworth's
Mrs. Butterworth's is a brand of pre-packaged syrups and pancake mixes owned by Pinnacle Foods. The syrups come in distinctive bottles shaped in the form of a matronly female, Mrs. Butterworth. The bottle design is sometimes derided as a Mammy stereotype, similar to controversy which has surrounded the Aunt Jemima image.
In the television commercials, the bottle comes to life and talks (originally in stop-motion animation; CGI is used today). Actress Kim Fields appeared in ads for Mrs. Butterworth's in the late 1970s.
The packages are now mostly plastic, but were originally glass.
Pinnacle Foods also produces Log Cabin Syrup.
