9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
America 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.

Because, both names origins are Latin, Mable, meaning "Lovable" and Rose, meaning "Rose bush= as sweet as, & we all know that,
