No, Her First Name Isn't 'Mrs.'

mrs butterworthAmerica is about to be on a first-name basis with Mrs. Butterworth.

Since her television debut in 1961, Mrs. Butterworth's® syrup has been a sweet addition to breakfast tables everywhere; the rich, buttery syrup is to pancakes as Hershey's chocolate syrup is to ice cream.

Call us old-fashioned but after a 40-year relationship, it's about time we knew the mysterious bottled woman's first name. Lucky for Slashfood, the one secret Mrs. Butterworth has kept is about to be revealed -- but not without your guesses first.

If you think you're a superstar at the name game, simply visit mrsbutterworthsyrup.com to submit your "Hi, my name is Mrs. _____ Butterworth" guess along with an explanation of 100 words or less.

The person who divines the first name of the foodie pop culture icon -- and has the best reason why -- will be rewarded with $500 cash money, a year's supply of Mrs. Butterworth's syrup (shocker!) and will be featured on the web site.

The contest ends next Friday, July 17, so don't get stuck without an entry.
