''Picked at the peak of perfection''

The  Jolly Green Giant first graced TV screens in the 1960's. Virtually everyone will be familiar with the mascot, as made famous by the canned vegetable brand, Green Giant.

The Valley of the Jolly Green Giant (as seen in the original 1960's TV ad) where the original corn was ''picked at the peak of perfection'' - refers to the Minnesota River valley area in the States. Today, just before dropping down into the valley heading south an enormous wooden sign of the Jolly Green Giant, along with the Little Green Sprout, is visible with the caption "Welcome to the Valley." Since the sign pokes up through the trees, it has become a source of minor controversy as it frequently startles motorists.
