Oscar Mayer

In 1883, Oscar Mayer was founded in Chicago, Illinois.  A few years later, in 1891, another unique, family-owned company was founded in Jeffersonville, Indiana-Schimpff’s Confectionery.  Craving candy and chocolates, Super Dog Sam & I chanced upon Scimpff’s and relished what we dogscovered.

When we set foot in Schimpff’s, we were not only greeted by the scrumptious aroma of candy but also by Warren and Jill Schimpff, the fourth generation owners and candy creators.  Jill gave us a candy demonstration and shared history with us about the turn-of-the-century equipment used.

Super Dog Sam and I were sch-mitten by our experience at Schimpff’s.  Warren, Jill, and their staff were very generous and hospitable.  We left Schimpff’s with our bellies full and yet another reminder of why we love our job as Hotdoggers: meating people as sch-mittenly, sweet as candy!

Franks Warren, Jill, and company!  Can you guess which box of chocolate is mine?

It’s the doggone truth that women have a stronger craving for chocolate than men; my box of chocolate is the one on the right.
