I read it wrong so of course, I got it wrong, but it was good all the same
what about orville redenbacher? isnt that popcorn? so he does have something named after him right?
Very good teaser. I hope to see more of your work.
no, orville redenbacher IS a popcorn, it wasn't named after popcorn, but I see your point
Mansard got me, but I figured 4/5 was good enough. Thanks for the title hint!!
Orville Redenbacher was born in 1924, developed a better popcorn and guess what? Named it after himself. Then sold right to Hunt/wesson.
i didnt know who the majority of the people were
If he named it after himself, then it was named after him, right?
If he named it after himself, then it was named after him, right?
*it being the popcorn
I was thinking "Caesar Salad", which is named after a Tijuana restaurateur who was named after Julius Caesar, rather than being direct.
If Orville Redenbacher popcorn doesn't count because Orville named it himself, then that nixes Julius Caesar as well. But July is an established word, and a brand isn't quite the same thing.
