I checked their web site, and Hellmann's mayo was the first mayo on the east coast, and Best Foods introduced Mayo to California. Both companies grew, and eventually Best Foods bought Hellmann's.

They still advertise. They don't show commercials, but you get stuff like, "Nova is sponsored by ChevronTexaco... and viewers like you."

What's the word for is you use a hammer to kill a cockroach instead of a shoe?
running joke in the south:
what do you say when a new transplant asks what you use to kill roaches because they've tried everything from raid to boric acid?

you tell 'em a brick.

If the boric acid isn't working, give it more time. It takes a few weeks to really see the difference, but you really see it.

My favorite Louisiana word is "lagniappe" (lan-yap), which means "a little something extra" or "a small gift". They have a bread loaf size that's a little bigger than regular, labeled "lagniappe".
