Hard put to keep up with the unending flow of correspondence, one of TIME'S letter writers nevertheless found time to devise a new title for her boss.

...will benefit from the tendency of people to "buy up, and buy out." By "up" he means higher quality, and by "out" foreign foods like Mexican and Chinese. Parks feels that his products are spicy enough to ride the fringes of the foreign trend. To insure their quality, the boss himself acts as an official taster. Recently he solved one executive problem by making a rather deft change. Parents and even schoolchildren had written in to complain about the company's shrill radio spot ads, in which a child cries, "More Parks Sausages, Mom!" That has since been modified...
