Through the years, many have mistaken the Quaker Oats Company mascot as William Penn or Ben Franklin, but in truth, the image of a man dressed in the Quaker garb was purposely chosen to reflect the "Quaker" faith and its values of honesty, integrity, and purity. Surprisingly, the actual Society of Friends (a.k.a. the "Quakers") went to court to have their association with the cereal removed, but they lost the court battle.Terinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-41886181288588702932009-12-15T12:46:03.132-08:002009-12-15T12:46:03.132-08:00While I agree with Mixtape Jones on the top hat co...While I agree with Mixtape Jones on the top hat comment, per se, I do feel compelled to point out that top hats don't really go with, like, tunics and dirty sandals.<br />I'm just sayin'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-58851733782227288372009-12-14T22:32:43.218-08:002009-12-14T22:32:43.218-08:00When I was little, I envisioned heaven as a small,...When I was little, I envisioned heaven as a small, falling-apart wooden shelter full of skeletons (the dead people) and an old man with a walking stick and long white hair (God).

Then, to further the confusion I remember asking my parents why churches have steeples and my parents explained that they pointed up towards heaven, so for a very long time after every time I saw a steeple, I imagined Buddha sitting cross-legged above it.Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16130563900084346157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-17266167478500259422009-12-14T05:26:24.295-08:002009-12-14T05:26:24.295-08:00yep - I thought ben was the quaker oats dude too.yep - I thought ben was the quaker oats dude too.Princess Stupidheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080381512079024394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-44346389164790862042009-12-13T22:19:02.378-08:002009-12-13T22:19:02.378-08:00Makes me wonder what weirdisms I'm inadvertent...Makes me wonder what weirdisms I'm inadvertently allowing my children.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04679175981747804889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-6364363943284330752009-12-13T20:46:58.572-08:002009-12-13T20:46:58.572-08:00I thought the Quaker Oats guy was Ben Franklin, to...I thought the Quaker Oats guy was Ben Franklin, too.Insomniachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085682122930371443noreply@blogger.com
