As I mentioned before, I do not watch Wheel or Fortune (too much clapping), but I do usually catch the final puzzle. What amuses me is that the announcer (or maybe Sajak himself ) always comments that for every correct guess Maxwell House coffee will donate $2,500 to Feed America. Since Maxwell House has been a leading brand for decades (Does anyone remember the 50s program, Mama?) this seems like a piddling sum to me. It's rather like me donating a dime. It's especially cheap when it's only donated for correctly guessing the puzzle, which doesn't happen with any frequency. I happen to think Maxwell House is far from "good to the last drop" and this cheapness doesn't improve my opinion of them.
