    I'll be go to hell.  Clarence Birdseye.  Invented modern frozen food.

     

    (my question remains, somewhat.  I guess nobody wanted to say "your name invokes yuck, sir" and it didn't matter because they raked in the dough.)

     

    Next you will tell me that it was called Taco Bell because the dude's name was Bell.

     

    (It was. Which I never realized until the dude died.  I just always accepted that along the way, they decided that tacos should be associated with bells and pizza associated with huts)

     

      I think the dude who came up with that name was Mr. Birdseye.  For real.

       

      yep, clarence birdseye: food engineering (aka dork) hero

      Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and rogues
      We're on the road to nowhere, let's find out where it goes

        Good thing that the guy's last name wasn't Birdpoop.

        Not at it at all. 


           

          If you ever wondered, no, that isn't what Wrigley Girl looks like.  That?  Is Bret Somers from Match Game. She was there all the time too.  Hammered.

            I always thought it was interesting that Betty White was married to Allen Ludden... the dude who hosted the various iterations of Password.

             

              I have no idea why people name their companies after themselves sometimes.  I had one of my managers want to hire this company to do some work in the Chicago area.

              My response... "who the hell names their company after a mass murderer?, Let Jeffery Dahmer, Inc. hire them."

                Well, a bird's-eye view isn't necessarily yucky, but if you had a helping of frozen peas and were told they were birds' eyes, maybe so.  I never considered it.

                  Am I the only one who was surprised to find out that Richard Dawson was still alive?

                    Yes, I think so.
