THE SPOTS
Three humorous :30s feature California dairy cows demonstrating how living in California is decidedly a happier place: In "Sunshine Day," the bovines burst into song when the farmer’s wife isn’t around; "Grandma/Where You Come From" shows flashbacks of traumatic and harsh winters that are far behind; and "Bulls/Work-Out" focuses on a couple of bulls discussing how the cows are more attractive in California. The ads end with the tag, "Great cheese comes from happy cows. Happy cows come from California."
