I’m a Nerd

This morning on Squawk on the Street Erin Burnett mentioned Haagen Daz and the British guy filling in for Mark Haines said, “actually Haagen Daz is British, I think” and Erin said, “oh, I didn’t know that.”  And I said to the TV, “actually Haagen Daz was started by a mom-and-pop team of Jewish immigrants in the Bronx who made up the words Haagen Daz.”  And after the commercial break Erin read a little something from the editor that said that Haagen Daz is from the Bronx and the name was meant to make it sound fancy.
