Things I Learned While Writing This Week's Column

The house of Faberge can't use their own name anymore. It's trademarked by Unilever. How is that for crazy?

I recently read that Unilever owns Ben and Jerry's now. They also own Dove, the soap I use when I can't get handmade soap. What can you make with a Faberge egg, some soap and a bowl of ice cream? I don't know but I'm hoping it's still legal.

The other extremely odd thing I discovered is that Theo Faberge designed a Scrooge McDuck Midnight Egg. And it sold out!

What would the Tsar have thought of that?
