CARNATION MILK 65 YRS AGO - "PRICELESS"

A little old lady from Devon had worked in and around her family dairy
farm 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
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!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Carnation Milk is best of all,
No tits to pull no hay to haul,
No buckets to wash no shit to pitch
Just poke a hole in the son-of-a-bitch.

If we are going to start on those "Best advertising slogans they never
used" don't forget:

Has the bottom fallen out of your world?
--Take Beacham's Powders and watch the world fall out of your bottom!

Miss Whiplash 1922?

There's an original Carters Little Liver Pills advert painted on a house end
wall across the road from Monk Gate in York. It would be nice to know who made
the paint that has lasted 70 or 80 years.

What about the ones they did use.

"Nothing acts faster than Anadin"

Why bother with the Anadin?

Or the alternative version: "Nothing acts faster without
prescription"
So that's how they plan to save money on the N H S.

When I was a kid, there was a  rhyme about Carter's Little Liver Pills
- can anyone remember it?

Better than the Thatcherite policy of just letting the poor, and those who can't
afford private medical treatment, die.

I remember.

Mary had a little watch
She swallowed it one day
And now she's taking Beecham's pills
To pass the time away.

When I've found the car keys, the car, glasses, teeth and the cat I'll try to
recall it.

...just doesn't sound like a "little old lady from Devon".  The tone is 
more US.

Yes, there was that one, but the one I was thinking of was ruder! I
think the last line was something like  "Carter's Pills have done
their best." It was lavatorial in nature - oh, you'd guessed.

There was a young lady from Devon
Who was raped in the garden by seven
High Anglican priests
(lascivious beasts):
Of such is the kingdom of Heaven.

The Beecham's Pills refused to work,
The time refused to pass,
Now if you want to know the time
You look up Mary's uncle (he's got a watch).
