Well, guess I'll just mention that the Jack in the Box
restaurant got its name (and
CEO) from the
toy of the same name. Can't think of anybody who hasn't owned one, but just in case, here's the description: A Jack in the Box is a little colorful box with a
spring loaded
lid (closed) and a little
crank on the side. Twisting the crank will play a song (usually, "
Pop Goes the Weasel"), and at a certain point (usually at "
pop"), the lid opens and a little person named
Jack (usually a
clown) pops out. Push Jack back in, close the
lid and
repeat.
Whenever I think of the toy, I think of
The Neverhood (get the
demo so you can see this bit, it's pretty funny).
