"Dear old Granny 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 advertisement offering $5,000 for the best slogan."

"True story! Allegedly!!!"



Really?

So why didn't you allegedly check it out before posting this crud?

http://www.snopes.com/business/deals/carnation.asp

It's not rocket science to carry out a check before posting you know.

Try it yourself. Do a copy of the words "Carnation Milk"

Go to http://snopes.com/

and then paste the words into the empty box in the top right corner and press enter. See graphic below..



Then, read what it says.

Remember the famous words - If it seems too good to be true then generally, it isn't.


ooroo
