KENOSHA, Wis. (Wireless Flash) -- Here's food for thought: a mother has named her newborn after her favorite brand of sauerkraut, and it's not a publicity stunt.
Brenda Lashley is the current two-time Women's World Champion Sauerkraut Eater in a contest held by Frank's Quality Kraut.
So, naturally, when Lashley gave birth yesterday to her six pound baby boy she named him Edward Allen Frank in honor of the kraut.
"This whole thing has just become so big. Of course I had to name him Frank," Brenda said from her hospital bed after giving birth.
It may seem like Mrs. Lashley has kraut for brains, especially since the company didn't ask her to name her son Frank.
Nonetheless, the sauerkraut maker is sweet on the idea and decided to spring for a $500 savings bond for Mrs. Lashley's son.
