"One winter morning November 1959 the first trucks loaded with Carlsberg Elephant Beer took off from Carlsberg Brewery in Copenhagen. No doubt this was an eye-catcher; on the back of the trucks, both the motorized and horse-drawn ones, was a small turquoise elephant who, surrounded by a nice warm and dense jungle, declared itself as charming, elegant and elephant."
