Back in November on this blog, I featured the Jerzee Moo Cow Creamer– a cow-shaped container that the Ohio-based Defiance Milk Products distributed as a promotional item in the fall of 1972.
While the idea of pouring milk out of a cow's mouth might be udderly disgusting to some, Lawson's must have thought it was a good idea. Why else would they come up with the Krazy Kow Karton, a carton with little fold out ears and horns, for their chocolate flavored skim milk?
The ad below (from the January 17, 1973 Journal) shows a disembodied hand (not unlike the Thing on The Addams Family TV show) pouring the Krazy Kow Karton.
Anyway, a quick search on the internet reveals that apparently none of these things still exist, fifty years later. It's not hard to understand why, since it's the thing that nightmares are made of.
Yes, if I have to remember a Lawson's milk carton, I'd much rather think of this non-bovine one, (courtesy of Worthpoint.com). It's like an old friend.
