Bisquick Shake 'n Pour Pancakes

The Story

While Bisquick had provided pancake recipes since its 1931 launch, the 'Shake 'n Pour' method became a marketing sensation in the mid-1960s. General Mills promoted the idea that the packaging itself (or a simple jar) could replace the mixing bowl, emphasizing the convenience of a no-mess breakfast for busy families.
