65 Years Ago. ...........................................


A little old lady from Somerset 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 shops in the 1940s, she read an advertisement offering £100 for the best slogan.

The producers wanted a rhyme beginning With 'Carnation Milk is best of all.'

She thought to herself, I know everything there is to know about milk and dairy

farms. I can do this! She sent in her entry, and several weeks later, a large black car pulled up in front of her house.

A large man got out, knocked on her door and said, "Madam,.....The president of Carnation milk absolutely LOVED your entry.....So much, in fact, that we are here to award you £100 even though we will not be able to use it for our advertisements!"

He did, however, have one printed up to hang on his office wall.


(Here it is:)

Carnation Milk is best of all

No tits to pull no hay to haul

No buckets to wash, no sh!t to pitch

Just poke a hole in the son-of-a-bitch.
