Trivia

Today’s Question: What popular children’s toy has been used to train management consultants to be more creative?

Previous Question: What is the largest American corporation named for an owner's daughter?

Previous Answer: The Sara Lee Corporation

The company is named for the daughter of Chicago bakery owner Charles Lubvin, who first named a cheesecake after his daughter and then in 1951, his company, which was originally known as the Kitchens of Sara Lee.

Mercedes Benz and Wendy's were also named after the founders’ daughters. I theorize that naming these ventures after the founders’ daughters gave these entrepreneurs extra incentive to make sure their companies succeeded.
