Fictional Product Promotional Characters

Minnesota's role in American life as food producer is known partly through the fictional characters created by our food products companies. Betty Crocker, Ann Pillsbury, Jolly Green Giant, Spammy, The Hamms Beer Bear, Land O'Lakes Maiden -- and there must be more! Whether or not you bought the products, you gotta love the characters who promoted them. Perhaps a section devoted to these imaginary -- and imaginative -- Minnesotans.
