This is priceless.
Carnation milk - 65 YEARS AGO .. This is choice!
A little old lady from Wisconsin 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 1940s, 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 several weeks later, a black limo pulled up in front of her house. A man got out and said, 'Carnation LOVED your entry so much, we are here to award you $2,000 even though we will not be able to use it!'

Wow.. so lucky!! :-) I participate in several competition like this, my best luck is to win a television only hehehe.. but Thanks God for that anyway.
BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA...this is SO TRUE HE HE HE HE...;-D
Yowza!
Haha so true! One thing about these old ladies, they aren't always as prim and proper as you would make them out to be. Guess it's due to the rougher life back in the day!
Thats really hilarious. But true is some way. Tinned stuff is always much more convinient
hahaha! Is this for real!? Kept me in suspense when you wrote '..even though we will not be able to use it!' No wonder =)
wahahaha!! No wonder they said they will not be able to use it! I was actually kinda surprised when I read that, never expected this honestly...
Hahahahaha. Damn its so funny. That lady was sure brave to submit such an entry. It rhymed all right, but it just didnt suit the company. LoL
Hillarious! Whoever that thought of that is a real genius! I'd use that slogan if i were Carnation!
Hahaha, this lady is so funny and creative. But it really can't be used although its an attractive slogan
