Wiener War Ends in Truce

It's all over...

Well, this is actually kind of disappointing. The Wiener War to End All Wiener Wars is officially over, and the result is so boring. Kraft and Sara Lee — the companies behind Oscar Mayer and Ball Park Franks, respectively — called a truce yesterday, settling the conflict out of court. Of course, this means that the terms are confidential, though a spokesman for Sara Lee claims that no money changed hands. We’re imagining that deal somehow involved trading the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile for a Michael Jordan commercial, but that’s just us. Not that it matters anymore, but the two had originally sued each over false advertising. [Crain’s]
