So their ad agency (could well have been della Femina) came up with
the slogan "Our salmon doesn't turn pink in the can."

And all hell broke loose...

Okay, so i found an interview on line with Cerf in which he tells the

I'd heard it as fact from my mother, who worked at several ad agencies
including McCann Erickson on down over the years to her own shop.

The thing is, it stacks up quite neatly and plausibly alongside Jerry
della Femina's "Rolls Royce clock" and "cheap scotch" stories (which i
have to assume are true until proven otherwise, since della Femina
said they were and i vassn't dere, Scharlie)...
