Me Thinks...

I think I want a pet rat.

I could train it to do all sorts of cool stuff.

Do you have to take rats to the vet?

Why is it that every time I go on leave, I come back to find that I have a different supervisor and a different job????

Yes, as I started blogging, I got to be more curious about the little girl, I had to find out who she was.

The Morton Umbrella Girl
— my how she's changed . . .

The Morton Umbrella Girl has been an enduring icon since she first appeared on our table salt packaging in 1914.

The idea for the little girl and her slogan, "When it Rains, it Pours," were the result of Morton's first advertising campaign in 1911. The agency selected was charged with creating a series of ads to run in Good Housekeeping magazine.

One of the concepts presented to Morton was an image of a little girl holding an umbrella in one hand to ward off falling rain and in the other hand, a package of salt that was tilted back with the spout open and salt running out.

Morton loved the picture that expressed the Morton message — the message that salt would run in damp weather. But they felt the copy that went with it — ("Even in rainy weather, it flows freely") was too long. They felt it needed to be shorter and snappier.

More suggestions included "Flows Freely," "Runs Freely," "Pours" and finally, an old proverb, "It never rains, but it pours." The adage was vetoed as being too negative, and a more positive spin on it resulted in the now famous slogan, "When it Rains It Pours."

The ageless lassie has continued to change with the times and has had several makeovers to modernize her looks. Updates began in 1921 and continued in 1933, 1941, 1956 and 1968.

Is there any other brand of salt other than Morton?  and why is their logo a little girl with an umbrella, pouring salt in the rain?  Does anyone EVER pour salt when it is only raining?  Has this girl ever stepped in a puddle?  Will it ever stop raining?  Where is her mother?  ......Me Thinks this is good marketing..........

I really wanted a blog.  :-)  I never had one before.

As my title sugests, this is a good place for some of those random thoughts I have.  :-)
