Whoa, I thought, as I was watching a "Laughing Cow" commercial on the telly. Borden should sue someone for stealing Elsie. Whoa, indeed. Wrong! The laughing cow logo has been in use, pretty much in its current form, since 1924. Elsie was not invented until 1936, and the current form evolved at a much later date. Who's infringing? Read the story of Gail Borden's invention here.

It's the earrings that makes it different from Elsie. ;)
I'm surprised they can get away with that, unless this is an offshoot of Borden's. You never know these days.
Lin-- Did you notice that the earrings are little fromage packets?

Cow a bunga. My grandparents used condensed milk before they had electricity. I did not like it at all, but it was always an adventure to visit them. Even if the kerosene lamp made my eyes smart. But times moo-ved on . . .
Yeah but Laughing Cow is originally a French company, so it's okay. And Elsie is ever much more pretty!
Chuck-- I rather liked condensed milk, but I suppose I've always been a bit odd. ;-)
okay, moo-ving on:
Grace-- Too right, Elsie is the more comely cow.
