There was so much secret Betty Crocker history that I couldn't include in my book, nor my documentary film because it would have reflected negatively on the current brand. At least that was the fear at the time, mostly coming from lawyers.
But that doesn't mean those stories are lost. They're in the process of being resurrected in a new way. Expect some intriguing secret history to come your way soon! And if there's an aspect you want included, please let me know!

Stumbled across your 2008 post about the Homemaker of Tomorrow, comments were gone, though I'd love to read them. Submitting here for the record--one of those good test takers and state (NJ) winners of 1975. Thinking it was a fluke and with no expectations of taking national honors, I had an amazing time on the Washington DC and Williamsburg trip and competition, and keep in touch with other state winners to this day. (I believe it was the first year guys were eligible, which probably stressed the chaperones to no end.) Great memories!
