History
Originally, two versions of the recipe were sold. To distinguish between them, Hellmann put a blue ribbon around one. The "ribbon" version was in such high demand that in 1912, Hellmann designed what is today the iconic "Blue Ribbon" label to be placed on larger glass jars.
At the same time that Hellmann's Mayonnaise was flourishing in the East, Best Foods, Inc. introduced mayonnaise to Californian consumers. As Hellmann's expanded on the East Coast, Best Foods proved to be a smashing success in the West. It was nearly inevitable then, that in 1932, Richard Hellmann Inc, was acquired by Best Foods, Inc.
