I recently read an article from the chicagotribune.com. The article wsa titled Oscar Mayer dies: What other products were named for real people? The legendary Oscar Mayer died on Monday, at the age of 95. At the time of his death, Mr. Myers was residing in a Wisconsin nursing home. The fact that Oscar Meyers was a real person, was the inspiration behind this article. What other famous food names are real people? Betty Crocker, Jennie-O, Orville Redenbacher, Ben & Jerry's, Mrs. Fields and many more. It is a very interesting and entertaining article to read.
I guess we always have our teacher thinking caps on, because even while reading this article I was thinking that this would be a fun research lesson for kids. There so many ways that this could be extended.
