This page is much shorter than the article on a lost character. THIS IS UNNACCEPTABLE! BETTY CROCKER IS AN AMERICAN INSTTITUTION MUCH LIKE BETTY FORD>

Betty Crocker appears to have retired. Now she's just a spoon. No race, no age, no ethnicity, hey, not even really a gender any more.


I'm not making up the business about National Alliance being upset about the new Betty Crocker. Here's a link to their page (one might find this offensive, I know I did...) Two Halves, who can't handle the truth...

That may be of interest in an article about the National Alliance, but it seems of no interest to an article about Betty Crocker, since the National Alliance is of no importance to General Mills, as far as I can see. Michael Hardy 03:07, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BettyCrockerLogo.png

Image:BettyCrockerLogo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 01:34, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposed (Dunkaroos)

The following discussion is archived. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

The result was: Merge, by silent consensus --B. Wolterding 17:13, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

I propose to merge the content of Dunkaroos into here, since the notability of that article has been questioned. Actually the Dunkaroos article has been around for a long time, and no secondary sources have been added, so it is quite unclear why this product is notable by WP:CORP independent of the company which makes it. Perhaps the best thing to do is to merge the content here, to avoid deletion.

Please add your comments below. Proposed as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 10:09, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dunkaroos

I don't really understand what the Dunkaroos have to do with Betty Crocker (in terms of an encyclopedic page on "her" history). I could see why they might have seemed lonely on their own article page, but that doesn't mean they belong here, does it? No other products are talked about, and there are far more significant ones. The Dunkaroos portion sounds bizarrely out of place. Bluela 13:22, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm also reasonably certain that there's no such thing as "Dunkelroos." --mtp85 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 20.4.65.55 (talk) 21:22, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Betty Crocker: A Centuries Old Icon Gone?

Is the Betty Crocker line gone now? Is "she" no longer "alive"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.113.89.229 (talk) 00:28, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT!!!!

Wikipedia just infringed on my heart's right not to miss a beat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.69.231.22 (talk) 19:36, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
