I'm 58 and living in Los Angeles now, but I grew up in Alabama and those "Frosty Morn Sausage" commercials and jingles will be forever burned into my brain.

WBRC-TV out of Birmingham was our station of choice (because their signal was clearer than competetitor WAPI-TV's) and WBRC produced a live/local country and western music show from their studios every morning called the "Country Boy Eddie" show. In addition to sponsors like "Big-Hearted Eddie's Used Cars", "Frosty Morn Sausage" was a regular advertiser. I can still hear those animated piggies singing in their sped-up, "Alvin and the Chipmunks" voices.

In case the meaning of the "Frosty Morn" is lost on readers, farmers would traditionally wait until a cold, frosty, winter morning before, ahem, "demising" the pigs. The cold weather would help preserve the meat during the process.

Gotta go have a big ole country breakfast of coffee, eggs, grits, biscuits and "Frosty Morn" sausage now. Sorry piggies.
