Half & Half...

Some of you were thinking it, right? LOL! I'm keeping this box with the beautiful maiden, Mia. She's gone now, like everything else that's disappearing as we take a nose dive into a generic plethora of boring packaging no longer recognizable. Interesting article written by the son of the native American (Ojibwa) artist who drew her here - https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/04/29/my-ojibwe-father-drew-land-olakes-maiden-she-was-never-stereotype/

As a child, I kept matchboxes with the cutouts from the butter package of this lovely maiden and the Chicken of the Sea mermaid - Catalina. I'm wondering where on earth those little matchboxes have gone? I could work with those!

Great capture and interesting narrative...she's a good collectible.

@linnypinny Thanks, Lin! I can imagine vintage posters of her are skyrocketing in price if you can find them.

Sign of the times. What an interesting article - sometimes the popularist approach does not really truly consider the cultural implications of the decisions made.
