Random Wordplay for Wednesday 1/26/11

Mrs. Japp's Chips.

Used at the very end of a series of sentences: "Stay with me. No snap judgments. I'm throwing down a little history here (during this dangerous foray into Oriental Inspiration Theme Week). For those of you fond of Jay's Potato Chips (are they just a midwest snack or are they across the country?), were you aware that Leonard Japp founded the company in 1927 and sold them as Mrs. Japp's Chips?"

Anyone really surprised that they renamed themselves in the 1940's -- had that Pearl Harbor thing not happened, they could have stuck with the name and rebranded for the Jewish American Princess market!
