Orville Redenbacher: Popcorn Entrepreneur
Sun: Cancer

Orville Redenbacher died in a Jacuzzi in a Californian condo at age 88. It’s going to take a while for my mind to process that info. Orville Redenbacher was not just a brand, but an actual agrarian who embarked on a passionate quest as a child to discover the best popping corn humanly possible. After experimenting with tens of thousands of hybrids, he discovered his Orville Redenbacher popping corn. He sold out to the corporate world in the 70s but stayed on as a kind of mascot. He actually had to go on talk shows to prove that he was a real human being and not just an advertising device. What is reality anyway? He has nebulous Neptune in conjunction with a stellium including Venus, Jupiter (advertising) the Sun (identity) and the Nodes (destiny), which could show this blurry line between Redenbacher the man and Redenbacher the publicity gimmick.

Speaking of really creepy advertising creations, here is the original Ronald MacDonald, a pedo from day one, sitting in that darkened room watching surveillance videos of the MacDonald’s parking lot, muttering “Psst here I am kids”. Yikey…Ronald MacDonald is the creation of Piscean Willard Scott the equally creepy Today Show weather man from the 80s.
