All the bland, pasteurized, watered-down goodness that anyone could ever want! Progress! Front and back covers of a 16-page promo published by the Kraft-Phenix Cheese Corporation of Chicago, Illinois. (Originally posted to flickr on June 9th, 2011.)

(L) The Physics dropout in me also wonders whether it was really possible to make cream cheese adhere to melon flesh like that. (Ick...)

(L) Yeah, you could get "petals" to look like that using only diluted cream cheese and a spoon. By the way, Kraft has enclosed a coupon good for 50 cents off your next purchase of swampland in South Jersey. (R) That clam dip might not be bad, though the seasonings are pretty intense for the time period. Probably that was a snack you only brought out in the small hours for the serious partygoers, long after the kids were safely in bed.

The Residents are throwing a luncheon, and you're invited! (L) Front and back covers, plus (R) first two pages of a promo published by Kraft.

Okay, I admit it. I'd totally eat that dip. Maybe with extra Tabasco added. P.S: BACON!!!!

The stuffed celery makes your snack tray radiate like a miniature sun! Woo!

There was probably enough sodium in most of these snacks to kill the entire armed forces of a mid-sized nation in Europe. Luckily, the half-dozen highballs or martinis you'd be throwing back between nibbles would wash that all away.

I wasn't really raised to think of processed cheese as something you served to impress guests. But who cares? It's all so damn cute!

For you Pyrex fans: googling the phrase "kraft cream cheese pyrex" will get you a link to an issue of Life magazine from 4/8/57, and a closer look at the promo glassware that Kraft was selling their cream cheese in. (R) First two pages from the booklet.
