Harland David "Colonel" Sanders (September 9, 1890 – December 16, 1980)
ws the founder of the Kentucky Fried Chicken Company, now know as KFC. His
iconic image remains in company promotions today. Sanders was given the title
of honorary "Kentucky Colonel” in 1935 by the Governor of Kentucky, Ruby
Laffoon and was “re-commissioned” by Governor Lawrence Wetherby. Over
the years Sanders developed his “secret recipe” for frying chicken in a
pressure fryer that cooked the chicken much faster than pan frying.  

The "Wienermobile" is a automobile shaped like a hot dog that is used to advertise
Oscar Mayer products. I was created in 1936 by Oscar’s nephew, Carl G. Mayer. The
first model of the “Wienermobile”(top pic) rolled out of General Body Company’s  factory
in Chicago, Illinois on July 18, 1936. The cost of the promotional vehicle was $5000. The drivers of the “Wienermobile” are known as Hotdoggers and are still on the road today.
