"Hang On, Little Tomato" is the latest CD of the Portland, OR-based group "Pink Martini." Check it out on NPR's website. The title track was inspired by a 1964 Hunt's Ketchup magazine ad....in which the food company urges tomatoes to hang on the vine until they become their juiciest. We are still searching our tomato collection for an image of this ad.
Hunt Foods, later Hunt-Wesson, is now part of ConAgra.
