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 the 1940s, she read an advertisements offering $5,000 for the best slogan. The producers wants 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. 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 and we are here to award you $2,000, even though we will not be able to use it!"

I grew up in Indiana, frequenting my family's dairy farm... I think that's pretty damn hilarious.

I looked at the picture first and was sold. Till I read that it wasn't actually used and just a stuipd contest. Weak.

That was a waste of your life, yet finding the time to say so wasn't? Whatever you say, Nietzsche.
