A little 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 **** to pull, no **** to haul.
No buckets to wash, no hay to pitch,
just poke a hole in the son-of-a-bitch! "
