Swiss cheese is the generic name, in the United States, Canada and Australia, for several related varieties of cheese, all of which resemble the Swiss Emmental. It has a distinctive appearance, as a block of the cheese is riddled with holes known as “eyes.”
Fritos® is the name of a brand of corn chips made by Frito-Lay. Elmer Doolin was so taken with the bag of corn chips served with his lunch in San Antonio, Texas that he paid $100 for the recipe. In 1932 he started the Frito Corporation.
[“Aba Daba Honeymoon”] was written in 1914 by Arthur Fields and Walter Donovan and published the same year. The first recording was made the same year, by Collins & Harlan. In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, Fritos Corn Chips used the tune as the melody of their commercial jingle “Muncha buncha, muncha buncha, muncha buncha, muncha buncha, Fritos goes with lunch”.
The Great Root Bear is the popular mascot for A&W Root Beer, an American soft drink. It was first used in 1974 by Canada’s A&W, and was later adopted by the American chain.
Root beer is a beverage that comes in two forms, alcoholic and as a soft drink. The alcoholic version is made from a combination of vanilla, cherry tree bark, licorice root, sarsaparilla root, artificial sassafras root bark flavoring (the pure form is mildly carcinogenic), nutmeg, anise, and molasses among other ingredients. The soft drink version of root beer is non-alcoholic and is generally made using root beer extract or other flavored syrups along with carbonated water. The soft drink version of root beer constitutes about 3% of the American soft drink market.

Rice Krispies (called Rice Bubbles in Australia) is a brand of breakfast cereal that has been produced by Kellogg’s since 1928. They are made of rice grain which is cooked, dried and toasted. These kernels bubble and rise in a manner which forms very thin walls. When the cereal is exposed to milk or juices, these walls tend to collapse suddenly, creating the famous “Snap, crackle and pop” sounds. This is in contrast to puffed rice, which was introduced in 1904.
Snap, Crackle and Pop! are the cartoon mascots of Kellogg’s breakfast cereal Rice Krispies (Rice Bubbles in Australia).
Quiznos Sub is a fast-food sandwich franchise that specializes in toasted submarine sandwiches. As of 2005, it is the second-largest submarine sandwich shop chain in North America, passing the older and slower-growing Blimpie, though still a fraction of the size of Subway.
In early 2004 the Spongmonkeys began appearing in television advertisements for Quizno’s Subs singing an altered version of their song called “We Love the Subs.” One commercial featured the oft-imitated line “they got a pepper bar,” referring to the self-serve assortments of peppers that are a Quizno’s selling point. The comments on the commercials were mixed, and a few months later the commercials stopped airing.
