ruzuzu commented on the word Hinky Dinky
"The Hinky Dinky grocery store chain was started by Jule, Henry and Albert Newman, brothers, and Ben Silver, a cousin, in Omaha in 1925. Another supermarket chain already existing was called Piggly Wiggly. Hoping to take advantage of the public's affection for a cute name (Piggly Wiggly was very successful) they came up with 'Hinky-Dinky', which was taken from the World War I song, 'Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo' (see Mademoiselle from Armentières)."
