Corn ethanol saved the day for Betty Boop in a cartoon that was made in 1939.
John Voelcker at GreenCarReports.com uncovered this classic cartoon featuring the power of “corn dripp’ns” as a fuel for Betty’s roadster in “Musical Mountaineers.” Little Miss Boop runs out of gas in hillbilly country and finds help from some musical mountaineers who get her on her way again by filling her tank with moonshine made from corn. Voelcker says, “Meanwhile, we can’t help but wonder if there was a nice little “Flex-Fuel” E85 Ethanol logo on the back of that roadster?”
Funny!
