Description: A blog about the student-debt crisis and bankruptcy relief for student loan debtors.
Liz Faul, who writes for my local newspaper, reported a charming story about Blue Plate mayonnaise , made by a New Orleans company that's been in business since 1927. As Faul’s story explains, Blue Plate recently rolled out a new label that will likely attract new customers.
Why is the New Orleans mayonnaise company named Blue Plate anyway? The name refers to Blue Willow plates , which were popular in the South in the 1920s . Blue Plate's version of the plate features depictions of a pelican, a river steamboat, and Magnolia blossoms. These words appear across the top of the label : “A New Orleans family tradition since 1927.”
I love the new label, and as soon as I finished reading Liz Faul’s story about it, I told myself Kraft mayonnaise, you are dead to me .
