smiley_lover Mar 17, 2006	I read it wrong so of course, I got it wrong, but it was good all the same
broken_dreams Mar 17, 2006	what about orville redenbacher? isnt that popcorn? so he does have something named after him right?
sgtammo Mar 17, 2006	Very good teaser. I hope to see more of your work.
sk8ergrl Mar 18, 2006	no, orville redenbacher IS a popcorn, it wasn't named after popcorn, but I see your point
signmeup74 Mar 22, 2006	Mansard got me, but I figured 4/5 was good enough. Thanks for the title hint!!
velreno Mar 27, 2006	Orville Redenbacher was born in 1924, developed a better popcorn and guess what? Named it after himself. Then sold right to Hunt/wesson.
irar1792 Apr 16, 2006	i didnt know who the majority of the people were If he named it after himself, then it was named after him, right?
irar1792 Apr 16, 2006	*it being the popcorn
Barticus Aug 15, 2006	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.
