Front and back covers of a promotional booklet, published by Corn Products Refining Company, New York, NY. I think those discs on the lower left are potato cakes. Originally posted to flickr on February 1st, 2011.

These look unusually appetizing for the era, don't they? I want those cute little rainbow ramekins! Originally posted to flickr on February 1st, 2011.

I once thought that this booklet originated in the 1950s, but you can see here that it came a bit earlier: www.vintageadbrowser.com/food-ads-1940s/42

This slogan has that swagger-y "The Best Is Yet To Come" quality to it. Originally posted to flickr on February 1st, 2011.

The all-text page across from this one explains the Bread Cube Test for making sure your oil is hot enough. I wonder if anyone still does that?

Be right back. I have to get down to the Big Box-Mart and find one of those time-saving Painted Pop-Makers. :D

Filbert Cream: Private Eye. One of those Forties radio shows which never really caught on.

Hat brims, sugared raviolis, and Hypno-toad eyes. Yeah, Baby!

The Peanut Fingers are my favorite. They're this close to being tiny beer steins.

Yes, I know Christmas is over. Am I the only one who keeps stashes of discounted peppermints around well into March? Yeah, okay. I am. :o Front of a 14-section fold-out published by General Mills. (Shown about 1/3rd larger than actual size.)

Includes: Wine Barbecue Sauce, Fricassee, Cantonese Duck, and Turkey & Broccoli Au Gratin. Also, an alarming level of seasoning for the time. I guess you were allowed to blame that whole clove of garlic on your grape-induced euphoria. Front of a six-section fold-out published by the Wine Advisory Board, San Francisco, California. (And "approved by Katherine Bele Niles, Home Economics Director of the Poultry & Egg National Board." Bu-KAW!)

The first time I viewed this ad, I thought that the man's profile was some kind of weirdly stylized car key. :o Yeah, some days are slower than others.
