Quiz: which of these is not like the others?

Some well-known organization names:

[ul]
[li]Johns Manville[/li][li]Owen Corning[/li][li]Black & Decker[/li][li]Johns Hopkins[/li][li]Fisher Price[/li][li]McDonnell Douglas[/li][li]Young & Rubicam[/li][li]Frito Lay[/li][/ul]
One of these is not like the others, purely on a naming basis. No Googling. Which one is it?

(It has nothing to do with the company, organization, field or history. Just names.)

Wild guess: Frito Lay

I think Frito Lay

The others are two people

My thought too.

My thought three.

How about Fisher Price…

man, corn, deck, hop, do, rub, la …all words.

Heh heh heh. I thought this would go in one shot, but three got it wrong in a row.

Owen Corning,

The correct name is Owens Corning

Quote a spoiler response and the code will show up.

[spoiler.]
Blah, blah. blah…
[/spoiler.]

Remove the period.

FYI, if you ever want to know the code for a function, quote a post that uses it. The code will be revealed!

{spoiler} blah {/spoiler}. But with instead.

No clue about the OP, though!

One is indeed one name rather than two, and that one is:

Johns Hopkins. “Johns” was an ancestor’s surname.

Nice quiz, by the way! :slight_smile:

Ding ding ding, we have an Oscar Meyer… wiener, that is.

The typo was unintentional. That’s one of my favorite name oddities.

Owens Corning because

They made something for NASA?

Owen Corning starts with a vowel

We already have a correct answer, there in #11. You may, however, notice the irony of my announcement in #12, if you like.

Like the correct choice, “Oscar Mayer” is also one man’s name.

Hey, I’m not wrong :slight_smile:

None of them have been in my living room.

Then which one’s not like the others? :wink:

Well how the hell is Frito Lay wrong? It includes a non-name. There never was a Mr. Frito. That makes it different from any of the others.

And by the way, it’s Owens Corning.

What about your kitchen? :smiley:
