How old is that canned food ad?

On my first blog I did an ad opposite of that. That is if we didn't have labels we would be wasteful because I like to discriminate between canned corn and canned peas.

The labels have meanings that identify or describe what is within when considering canned foods. The labels placed on people are usually with meanings that are derived from outside of people's actual characters and identify and describe another's or other's experiences, perceptions or notions of a characteristic people have, but still may not describe or identify the individual's character at all. The word is label the meanings are different.
