Still pissed about forgetting Oscar Mayer ::goes off whistling the song::  
[/QUOTE]

At least you spelled Oscar’s surname correctly in the post quoted above. I saw lots of “Meyer” answers despite the fact that the jingle clearly states that the bologna’s (and thus wiener’s) second name is “M-A-Y-E-R”.

I think my problem was I remember the song so I think of bologna and not hot dogs.

That cracked me up! It was about evenly split between correctly spelled and mispelled. 😛

And if you ask me why I’ll saaayyyyyy . . . .  
'Cause Oscar Mayer has a way with “B-A-L-O-N-E-Y.”_

I’m sticking to that 'cause I’m genetically, culturally and economically unable to refer to it as bologna. 😛

It’s not my fault. I was distracted by the fact that I’d originally typed “Farmer John” and then realized that may be a regional brand that no one else knows about. Looking at the scores, I’m apparently right.

Ya, spelling isn’t my friend and I spell checked the post so anything out side of that is beyond me. But on the plus side I finally made someone laugh on the Dope 😃 .

Dead last.

Sigh.

I even beat you, that is bad. I almost had my forth last place.

I seriously expected to not be near the end.

I was going to say Folgers coffee, but then I remembered how everybody seems to talk about dying for a Starbucks.

Whee! I’m not sure how proud I should be of my knowledge of mass-produced food. Not to mention my ability to think generically. But, cool, I won!
