    Question about Peter Pan peanut butter

    When I first told my mom about Donald Duck orange juice, she thought it might have been a container of Minute Maid or Tropicana with Donald Duck ON IT. Why did she think this with Donald Duck orange juice, but knew Peter Pan peanut butter was the brand?

    Okay, I saw a container of Donald Duck orange juice, and it says (C)The Walt Disney Company. I know why, but on jars of Peter Pan peanut butter, it does not say (C) The Walt Disney Company. Why doesn't it say (C)The Walt Disney Company on jars of Peter Pan peanut butter?

    Origin of the expression, "Christmas in July"

    I've seen various places using, "Christmas in July" as a gimmick. A TV network aired Christmas specials once in July, and some park had a Christmas party with some guy pretending to be Santa in July. Since all this Christmas stuff was in July rather than any other month, it must be some...

    What happened to the Burger King Kids Club?

    And you know what? There aren't that many McDonald's PlayPlaces anymore-there are few left today, at least in my area. Many of them have been torn down(probably because of lawsuits about kids playing and getting hurt).

    Anybody visit their old schools?
