Tuesday afternoon Milk Carton blogging - 14:32
Magnetic cow (full size)
|
This may not look much like a milk carton to the untrained eye. (or for that
mater to the trained eye) I suppose anyone suggesting that this is not in fact
a milk carton may have some semblance of accuracy on their side. Okay I admit
this is a photo of a soft toy cow with magnetic feet.
However it is a cow, think about, the cow is the raison d'etre for the milk
carton, without cows there might now even be milk cartons. Oh sure I hear you
speak of Goats milk, soy milk and coconut milk and all manner of strange
alternatives. However with out the ingrained connection with cows milk that
exists in our society we may in fact have ended up with some alternative
packaging. (forgetting for a moment that blame for the
Tetra Pak (along with
Safety Match, Ball Bearing and Dynamite
(reference))
can be placed on the heads of the Swedes)
The cow with the magnetic feet pictured was acquired in the Udder Cow Cafe in
Comboyne before the 2005
Polaris Challenge in March. Really what better item is there to brighten
your office if you are unable to keep a milk carton handy, but a cow with
magnetic feet.
