Apparently it's not as old as you'd think.. early 1980's. "Before settling on the name "Mrs. Dash," the company considered the name "Mrs. Pinch."

Mrs. Dash is a brand name of seasoning that was introduced in 1983 and was marketed by B&G Foods. The product line was originally developed by Carol Bernick, now Executive Chairwoman of the company. In the 1980s, while a marketing executive at the firm, she was frustrated with the products available to flavor the meals she prepared at home for her family. She invented a salt-free blend of her own to fill the need for a convenient way to flavor the food without using salt. The original formula, which was first marketed in 1981, was developed with a variety of spice suppliers. Before settling on the name "Mrs. Dash," the company considered the names "Mrs. Pinch," "Mrs. Marketing Executive," "Frustrated Carol's Family Flavoring Mix," and "Bernick Family Proprietary Salt Substitute Powder."

I routinely overuse Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute.. but in conjunction with salt, not as a substitute.

why use 21 different spices when you can just use allspice

Was that the stuff in Dune?

I wonder if there's a parallel universe where somebody is buying a bottle of Mrs. Pinch at this very moment.
