A little old lady from North Carolina had worked in and around
family dairy farms since she was old enough to walk....with hours
of hard work and little compensation...and when canned Carnation
Milk became available in grocery stores (1940s or 50's???), she
read an advertisement offering $5,000 for the best slogan...rhyme
beginning with
"Carnation Milk is best of all...."
and she said, "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....
Here is her entry:
Carnation milk is best of all,
No tits to pull, no shit to haul
No buckets to wash, no hay to pitch,
Just poke a hole in the son-of-a-bitch!
