Remember Mrs. Butterworth? (1975)

Mrs. Butterworth syrup, now made by Pinnacle Foods, has always been in the shadow of Aunt Jemima, and both competed for the consumer dollar with Log Cabin (then made by General Foods). Yes, Quaker made syrup under the Aunt Jemima label along with frozen waffles & pancakes. Lever Brothers, which sold Mrs. Butterworth to Pinnacle, didn't expand on the brand. Their loss.

Anyway, in this ad, Mrs. Butterworth (voiced by Hope Summers, ex-The Andy Griffith Show) makes the acquaintance of a 5 year old Kim Fields (well before The Facts of Life made her famous).
