Paul, that's a little hard on a fine food brand well known on the West Coast. I remember long shelves of S&W canned goods in our local grocer in the days before designer canned goods came along.

How do you feel about V8 juice cocktail?

Nothing against S and W brands as a whole, KDP! Never experienced their products myself, being an East Coast guy. Just joking about how alluring the veggie blend would be to the tykes! Not a big fan of V8 myself!

Could also have been a Mystery Illustration, to guess whose face that's supposed to be.
