There are tons of produce-based beauty pageants throughout history, which makes it no less weird. Basically if you were a pretty girl you could win the title and pose with some sort of locally harvested or manufactured product and be Miss Idaho Potato Peel Appeal Girl like Tina Louise in 1953.
Tina Louise is an American actress best known for playing movie star Ginger Grant in the CBS television situation comedy Gilligan’s Island in the 1960s.
Another bullshit post.
