Why is there no "e" in "Wintry Mix"?

I think if you put some "e" in a Wintry Mix it might sound like a fun cocktail to have at a circuit party...

I guess there's no "meth" in Wintry Mix either.

I guess that drink would be an easy sell at a cirut party.

Last night, I bingoed out (and still lost by 13) with RUMOURS. :)

I before e, except after c.

Which makes the spelling of weird rather weird.

That's very true. Perhaps it has something to do with your neighbors.

Because spelling and grammar have no place in advertising. Like TOYS R US and DUNKIN DONUT. It wouldn't be clever.

Well, I don't think it has anything to do with advertising, but yeah. It's all about the problem with being able to copyright a standard english word, so you get things like Kleenex.

Because putting an 'e' in the right place would be too easy, that's why.

Of course, they could just drop the 't' as well and call it a 'Winry Mix', but that's a Fullmetal Alchemist reference that I just came up with. *laughs*
