I remember an old TV commercial for Jimmy Dean sausage. The camera zoomed in on a breakfast table. The voice-over said “The milk is from real cows. The eggs are from real chickens. The sausage is from Jimmy Dean.”
Try explaining to him that Jimmy Dean was a country music singer who had his own TV show. The whole sausage thing was a late-life change of direction. Sort of like Paul Newman, although Dean was never that famous.
Had some Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage (the stuff in the plastic tube) recently – absolutely disgusting tasteless meat mush. Couldn’t even form a patty with it, there was so much water pumped into it, it dripped from the tube. No detectable spices. An excellent, although terrible, example of decontenting.
What’s sad is the way KFC turned Colonel Sanders into a Ronald McDonald type mascot. A lot of younger people don’t even know the Colonel was a real person and the founder of the franchise.

And I hate to break it to you, Lance, but none of those companies gives a rat’s ass whether any of those people are dead or alive.

Jimmy Dean’s song “Big John” is as close as I come to rap.
