![]() ![]() The question asked by the French, "Pourquoi La Vache Qui Rit rit?" ("Why is The Laughing Cow laughing?") has become synonymous with the product. However, demand for the triangular wedges has increased significantly recently, since the light version of the product was suggested as a viable menu item to followers of the South Beach Diet. The cheese has also been a constant, but hardly popular, product in the United States for a number of years. The cheese has long been popular in the United Kingdom and Canada as a children's snack. Kiri (pronounced in the same way as "qui rit") is a separate brand that Bel established in 1966. The current logo uses the Droste effect, with the laughing cow appearing inside the ear tags. Before then, one tag showed the top and the other showed the bottom side. Since 1976 both ear-tag boxes have been shown with the top-side visible. The blue and white stripes around the box date from 1955. In 1924, illustrator Benjamin Rabier edited the drawing into something more like the image that prevails today. The cow in the original drawing was not not red and did not wear ear tags. Bel had made the original drawing himself, after seeing a travelling meat wagon during World War I called "La Wachkyrie", a play on the word for Valkyrie. On April 16, 1921, Léon Bel trademarked his brand, as La Vache Qui Rit, in France. The Laughing Cow is a red and white cow depicted as being jovial, and almost always wearing ear tags that look like the round boxes the cheese comes in. In addition, flavoured versions of the cheese (such as ham, gruyère, garlic, paprika, mushroom, chèvre, bleu, hazelnut, pizza, jalapeño and onion) are also available in various markets worldwide. Laughing Cow cheese is available in its original flavour, a light version with 7% fat, and an ultra-light version with 3% fat. In 2010 they updated the brand's website to include cheese recipes. The Laughing Cow USA introduced a TV commercial in 2009 where the company introduced a new slogan, "Have you laughed today?".
