Wiener wars: Ball Park franks sues Oscar Mayer over taste-test claim
That darn small type.
Sara Lee, maker of Ball Park franks, has filed a false-advertising lawsuit against Kraft Foods, parent company of Oscar Mayer, over its “national taste test” advertising claims, according to this story at ChicagoTribune.com.
You’ve gotta love that Tribune story’s lede: “The buns came off in a battle between the nation’s two biggest hot dog-makers …”
Let’s call it, simply, a dog fight.

I have a solution to this problem. Each company throws hot dogs at each other till one of them says “hamburger” and loses.
