I haven't seen, or heard of the advertisement. I dont even live in the US, but I thought this might be good opportunity to mention that the consuming of animal matter is the primary fuel to the growing percentage of overweight and obese people in the US, and thus will implore you not to continue attending places like Hardee's (I'm assuming its some kind of meat oriented restaraunt) and start visiting places like Subway. This change would henceforth make your question irrelevant, replaced by such questions as "where's the Nearest sandwich parlour to my hourse?" or "how much does a footlong with the lot cost, and can I ask to have more added?"

The Sandwich Islands was the name given to Hawaii by Captain James Cook on his discovery of the islands on January 18, 1778. The name was made in honour of one of his sponsors, John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, who was at the time the First Lord of the Admiralty and Cook's superior officer. During the late 19th century, the name fell into disuse.

When I was at Ryan Junior High in Fairbanks, Alaska our ONLY option was: Chips & cheese dip & 2% milk. It was $2.75 in 1992. I haven't eaten school lunch since then (graduated HS in 97).

Dainty sandwiches and sweets in the South of the U.S. of A. \n\nI'm not sure what they eat in, say, South Africa! :-)

Yes!  I'm a Pennsylvanian, so I grew up eating the stuff.  I didn't know there were places without scrapple until I was 25.\n\n  I also like pierogies, birch beer, Rolling Rock beer (the real kind, from Latrobe), and pretzels (both hard and soft).  And you can't get a decent cheese steak more than about 50 miles from Philadelphia!!

Oh my goodness this is soo funny.  Thank you so much for letting me tell this story.  Okay so awhile back one of my good friends Jorge (who's Mexican), his (now) wife (who is generally fairly quiet) and I were driving to a movie and my friend pondered outloud, "did you ever notice how different cultures smell like the foods they eat?"  I sort of tentatively muttered in the affirmative and he continued, "Mexicans smell like burritos.  Asians smell like fish.  Indians smell like curry."  We all laughed. Then I wondered and asked, "what do white people smell like?" Without skipping a beat, Fatima immediately replied, "sandwiches."\n\nOhhhhohohhhooooooooohh!!!!!! Did we laaaugh!!! And it's sooooo true!!!! If there is any cultural food of caucasians it has to be the sandwich.  Think.. PB&J. Hamburgers, Hot dogs, subs, philly cheese steaks.  They are all sandwiches of one sort or another!!!!!\n\nWe smell like sandwiches. Mystery solved. ROFLMAO

The year was 1892. Ithaca, New York, was dotted with local drug stores, where many a nickel was spent for a dish of ice cream. After Sunday services at the Unitarian Church, Reverend John M. Scott visited the Platt & Colt Pharmacy in downtown Ithaca, New York, for his usual dish of vanilla ice cream -- but on one fateful day, history was altered forever. That day, instead of plain vanilla for the Reverend, Chester Platt dipped his scoop of ice cream into a champagne saucer, poured cherry syrup over the top, and dressed it with a candied cherry. As the two men pondered over what to call the delightful new concoction, Scott proposed that it be named after the day on which it was invented: Cherry Sunday! \nNone other than H. L. Mencken has disagreed with this account. He claimed that the first Ice Cream Sundae appeared in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Or was it Manitowoc, Wisconsin? He reported that a customer named George Hallauer urged Edward C. Berners, owner of a Two Rivers ice cream parlor, to top a dish of ice cream with the chocolate sauce he used for ice cream sodas. Berners warned that it would ruin the ice cream, but Hallauer ordered it anyway. The concoction caught on, but was offered only as a Sunday special. One weekday, a ten-year-old girl requested a dish of ice cream "with that stuff on top," pleading to "pretend it was Sunday." \n\nBut a fellow by the name of George Giffy operated a competing soda fountain in the nearby town of Manitowoc. Giffy's best seller was plain vanilla ice cream, and when a customer pleaded for him to pour chocolate syrup, normally reserved for chocolate sodas, over a nickel portion of vanilla, Giffy realized he would have to charge an extra five cents to insure a profit. According to Mencken, the addition of syrup made the new treat too expensive to eat, except perhaps once a week (on Sunday, of course) when dressed-up church-goers filled his place. \n\nBosh! His story about the Wisconsin rivals were taken seriously, but of course Mencken made the whole thing up. He later claimed that his motive for creating the hoax was "simply to have some harmless fun," but historians believe he was actually proving that the American public would believe any absurdity, as long as it appealed to their imaginations. \n\nMore than a few others say, in effect, not so fast. Buffalo, New York, has its own delusion of historical grandeur. Their Hometown legend traces back to Stoddard Brothers, the first drugstore to install a soda fountain in Buffalo, selling ice cream sodas for a nickel - that is, until the day the store ran out of soda water. Uncle Charley Stoddard needed to dream up a new dish in a hurry, so he instructed his clerks to serve two scoops of ice cream drenched with fruit syrup. Charley's idea stuck, and so did the mythology. \n\nNorfolk, Virginia, holds dear to its own unverifiable claim. A city ordinance not only prohibited the consumption of alcohol, but legislated against the growing “Sunday Soda Menace.” To circumvent the blue law, it is purported that a local fountain owner added a few berries, fruit syrup and ice cream to an ice cream soda glass, but held off on the fizzy water. The merchant would not be denied. With a snip of legal subterfuge, his “dry” soda became an Ice Cream Sundae. \n\nThe primacy of the Ice Cream Sundae in Plainfield, Illinois, is dubious. The story afloat is that a Plainfield druggist created a new dessert in response to the urgings of patrons. Dressing a dish of ice cream with syrup, he decided to call it the "Sonntag" after his surname. Sonntag means Sunday in German, and you already know the rest. \n\nThe cradle of the Ice Cream Sundae? An entymologist might trace the dessert to Evanston, Illinois, Chicago's Godly neighbor to the north. "Heavenston," as temperance leader Frances Willard called it, was a rather “Methodist-minded” place, whose zealous clergy had already banned saloons from their

Where the poem originates, I don't know. However, when ice-cream was first produced in mass, in Victorian England, it would be sold on little glass holders known as 'penny licks', which might explain the 'penny a lump'.

I believe the parallel to the male love of sandwiches is the driving force behind this fascination. I have just decided to conduct some research into this interesting question. Hey Honey come here I want to talk to you about something. This could take a while.

This was somewhat difficult to find, I have to tell you, and it does not necessarily mean that the foods were his absolute favorites, but according to the weblink below, he liked to give sauerkraut and mashed potato parties.\n\nPlease take time to vote for the best answer.  I took quite a bit of time looking this up, but I found out some fun stuff along the way.
