IT all started in 1921 when a simple contest would give birth to an icon.
The contest called on home cooks to solve a jigsaw puzzle for a chance to win a pincushion in the shape of a bag of gold medal flour.
Following this contest, the character Betty Crocker was created to give a personal response to an overwhelming number of letters from women constantly seeking cooking advice.
