Sam-I-Am
Relentless breakfast advocate
Sam-I-Am is a character from Dr.
Seuss's 1960 children's book *Green Eggs and Ham*, known for persistently offering the title dish to a reluctant companion.
The name has become shorthand for cheerful, relentless persuasion: He was being a real Sam-I-Am about getting me to try the new restaurant.
