Received a birthday present today in the mail from some good friends in Maumee, Ann and Jim. They sent me a package with some food only found in Toledo. Tony Packo's hot dogs, pickles, hot dog sauce, Wonder buns, Ballreich's potato chips and Combos. If you've never had Tony Packo's, made famous by Jamie Farr on M*A*S*H*, then you're truly missing one of life's great joys. Thanks Ann & Jim!

Sibling Rivalry:
ADIDAS/Adolf & Rudolf Dassler
Background: According to Everybody's Business, "Adolf and Rudolf Dassler were the sons of a poor laundress who grew up in the tiny Bavarian milltown of Herzogenerauch, near Nuremburg. Before World War II, they started a factory there to make house slippers, then branched to track shoes and soccer boots."
Rivalry: "They had a violent falling out and after the war went their separate ways. Rudolf left Adidas and started a rival athletic shoe company, Puma. Before long Adidas and Puma - both headquartered in Herzogenerauch - were battling head-to-head all over the world. When Adolf died in 1978, the two brothers hadn't spoken to each other in 29 years." - From Uncle John's Legendary Lost Bathroom Reader
