When opening a can of Carnation evaporated milk for your recipes, just smile and think of this:
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 said, I know all about milk and dairy farms... I can do his!
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...."
Here is her entry:
Carnation milk is best of all,
no tits to pull, no hay to haul
no buckets to wash, no **** to pitch,
just poke a hole in the son-of-a bitch.
