[kingchuck69]

Welcome to the 815th edition of Who Am I?, the weekly game where I dish out a daily clue to a subject and you have to guess who or what it is.

Every day, the clues get easier. The winner of this week's game gets a piece of my gratitude.

This week's subject is a THING.

CLUE #1: I was founded nearly 150 years ago.

The F.W. Woolworth Co., founded in 1879 by Frank Winfield Woolworth. At its peak in 1982, there were than 8,000 Woolworth stores worldwide.

Bell Telephone Company is a good guess. Bell Brand potato chips were sold from 1921 until 1995 when the company went out of business. Their slogan was "If it's Bell, it's swell!" Alexander Graham Bell should have sued for copyright infringement.
