Muskrats made you frozen dinners

Turns out Clarence and, by extension, I, owe a great deal to muskrats.

Granted, because he hunted them, I owe it all to dead muskrats, but the fact remains that the modern process for freezing food stems from a boy saving money so he could eventually shoot things as an adult.

Or maybe Reader's Digest made that whole thing up. 'Birds eye' is such a boring story. Let's add some crap about some muskrats, a dragon, a troll, and a breakdancing gynecologist.'
'That's a marvelous idea, but let's only include the muskrats, as I don't think the American public will believe that vagina doctors can spin on their heads.'

And that's how muskrats made you frozen dinners.

Clarence Birdseye is my great grandfather. He is the inventor of the frozen food process we use today, among other things. Had he not sold his patents while he was alive, they would be worth billions and billions of dollars today. God fucking damn it.
