Rrrrrright!  Another syndicated advertising package I can think of right
off the bat is the 'lil cheeper' (little cheaper, git it?  Kyuk yuk.) symbol
(baby chicken) used by various different car dealers.  (One per area, natch.)
Anyone know any more?

(BTW, haven't yet seen it here in the Bay Area.  But then, here Firebirds, for
instance, are going for 20K a pop.  You think I'm kidding???)
