    He named his son and his bakery after himself (ego-maniac!).
    He married his sales girl in 1925 and later made her the president of the Entenmann's company.
    He baked and sold junk food.
    His company was sold to Philip Morris, the notorious cigarette manufacturer, who held on to the business between 1982-1995.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His bakery business started in Brooklyn, NY and has now expanded throughout the United States.
    He delivered baked goods door-to-door by horse and buggy.
    His sons all fought in the Korean War.
    His wife came up with the idea of packaging their baked goods with a clear window so that customers can see the food they are buying. This is common practice for most bakeries today.
    His company now operates out of a 550,000 sq ft bakery, making it the world's largest sweets bakery.
    His grandchildren, William and Robert Entenmann, are currently executives in the business.
