Trivia
The purchase of Pillsbury Company by General Mills meant that the Betty Crocker kitchens were temporarily reopened to the public since 2003. After the advertising character Betty Crocker , developed in 1921, proved extremely popular, not least because of her radio broadcasts, General Mills offered consumers tours of the company's test kitchens. Since 1946 these test kitchens have operated under the name Betty Crocker Kitchens. In 1985 the tours were stopped because they wanted to protect production secrets. The acquisition of Pillsbury made it necessary to merge the test kitchens of both companies and resulted in the test kitchens being completely redeveloped. Since 2003, the public has been admitted to tours and events there at regular intervals.
