Klim – I only just got it!

Posted: September 6th, 2016 | No Comments »

I must have seen a hundred adverts for Klim brand milk in old Shanghai – the leading brand of powdered milk brought in from the States. But I only just realised Klim is milk backwards!! What a genius!

By the way Getz Brothers, based in California, expanded into Shanghai in the 1880s (and Hong Kong) and did very nicely with their offices at 22 Nanking Road.
