Missed Opportunity?

I'm sure you're all aware of the fact that there's another branch of the Maytag family that produces gourmet-quality bleu cheese (if you have a gourmet food shop, a good deli, or your local supermarket has a gourmet cheese section, look there). A "random thought" came to mind. While they were still in the washing machine business, if that branch of the Maytag family had thought of it, might they have "shared" model names/designations with the dairy branch? ..And if so would we have the following...?

*"606" BLEU- a "popular" variety...
*"HIGHLANDER" BLEU-made with milk from dairy cows grazing somewhere in the Scottish countryside...
*"NEPTUNE" BLEU- laced with a touch of sea salt...
*"HALO OF HEAT" BLEU- laced with "just enough" Jalapeno peppers...

The Maytag family was quite active with companies. At one time Maytag family members were presidents of both Frontier and National airlines!

It's not just Maytag

Coors branched out from brewing beer. 

 

Nate and I hit this place when I was in Tucson over Thanskgiving and we got some killer deals on "seconds" of Frank Lloyd Wright dinnerware, among other things.
