A little old lady from Newfoundland had worked in and around her family
dairy farms since she was old enough to walk, with hours of hard work
and little compensation. When canned Carnation Milk became available in
grocery stores in approximately the 1940's, she read an advertisement
offering $5,000 for the best slogan. The producers wanted a rhyme
beginning with "Carnation Milk is best of all..."
She thought to herself, I know all about milk and dairy farms...I can do this!
She
sent in her entry, and about a week later, a black limo drove up in
front of her house...a man got out and said, "Carnation LOVED your
entry so much, we are here to award you $1000, even though we will not
be able to use it...
Milk, Now Served In Cans
This cute reference to hard agricultural labor seems funny enough, if anyone actually worked on farms anymore. Thanks big agra, for making our food in magical lands far away and delivering it to us in tightly wrapped clear plastic.
