Statements
Pep and Ron Simek began it at their Tombstone Tap in Medford, named for the cemetery across the road. In Madison it was in grocery ads by December 1973, and in 1985 the Tombstone Pizza Corporation ran a route-sales office in Sun Prairie. Kraft bought it in the late 1980s; Nestlé owns it now.
