DEPT. OF COINCIDENCE
June 5th, 2002 by Clark Humphrey

As part of the increasing, much-vilified Kroger-ization of QFC, the formerly Washington-owned supermarket circuit has replaced is store-brand milk label with the “Carnation” logo. The Cincinnati “Distributed By” address on the label gives this away as being a case of the Cin-city-based Kroger having licensed the name from the eco-elite’s favorite love-to-hate company, Nestle, which umpteen years back acquired the formerly Washington-owned original Carnation Co., which had its local fresh-milk plant in a building east of the University Village mall, a building now housing a branch of, you guessed it, a certain supermarket chain. (Confused? Good.)
