Plus, all the non-cartoon people look so gloomy. Well, except for the bread truck dude. Maybe he was the only one whose photo got snapped on a Friday instead of a Monday.

So... no dark chocolate anywhere, plus my chances of biting into something that's not cream-filled are a mere 30%. Huh. Maybe I'll just sneak over to the produce department and grab myself an apple, instead. From the February issue of Everywoman's magazine.

Some clippings from inside the booklet. Some of it was in bad shape, and the Aunt Jemima-wannabe pic was in bad taste. So I left them out.

Also, I'm sad that I've never seen an ad for "CLIX" shortening.
