I have a few of these 16-pagers, but I don't remember where they came from. There's a spot where the old owner blacked something out in ink, which may have been a price per copy. Published by Sealtest, Inc. (If anyone knows where Sheffield Farms was/is, I'd love to hear from you.) (Originally posted to flickr on February 14th, 2011.)

A diet of gigantic omelets (also Codfish Timbales, Cottage Cheese Rice Patties, and Bean & Cheese Croquettes) appears to have de-aged Mother and Dad. The sons hide their amusement with some help from the milk glasses.
