You know that thought did cross my mind.

I remember asking my dad about "the Jeep" in Popeye and which came first. He didn't know.

Off to google I go.

Before I do, I wonder if Jeep was sued by E.C. Segar first.

I always heard that the name Jeep for the military vehicle came from the Popeye comic strip.

I’ve had Duckhorn from time to time, off my dad’s table or from his (figurative) cellar. NO ONE WHO DRINKS DUCKHORN WOULD BE CONFUSED BY DUCK DYNASTY. Duckhorn customers read The Wine Spectator and have never heard of Duck Dynasty, which is literally about ducks. Duckhorn is just a friggin sounds-upper-class NAME.
