Uncle Ben
Although you might have thought of uncle Ben from Spiderman first, the “other” uncle Ben (the face behind one of the top U.S. food companies) is also a fictional creation. The man photographed as the great uncle is actually someone called Frank Brown, a restaurant manager. As he is a friend of the president of the food company, getting his name on the packaging was as simple as striking up a deal for his likeness to be used.
