Who’s Bill Mitchell, you say? According to this article on Retro Thing, Bill Mitchell was a food chemist who invented Tang, Kool Whip, Jell-o Instant Pudding, and Pop Rocks, and presumably a number of less memorable General Foods products. This genius deserves national recognition. Mr. Mitchell passed away in 1994, but that doesn’t mean we can’t honor his memory. Maybe a statue in his home town, at least.
