What kind of scoops did they use to get the ice cream to be so conical? If you're wondering what the original 28 flavors were: www.hojoland.com/...
Chiffon... world's most glamorous pie. This ad would've been the Tastespotting of its time. *blink*
I wish Natalie Wood were still alive to discuss her extreme brand loyalty to Smith-Corona.

Lovely watercolour featuring wonder-blend granny panties that will make you want to surrender to your new butterfly overlords.
Okay, this looks a little like 8-ply to me. And like an expensive plumber's bill.
Is she standing on cotton candy? Does that dress have wings?

Something I just learned: In World War II, toilet paper was shipped flat, by order of the US Government, to save shipping space. (Consumers were directed to squeeze the rolls back into shape.)

All of these Scott "Soft-Weve" toilet paper ads need to be matted and framed for the bathroom. They make me feel butt-elegant in ways the Charmin bears never could.
1. This is adorable, and it should be framed and be in my kitchen. 2. What the hell are you insinuating, Kellogg's? That Snap, Crackle, and Pop have the nutritional benefits of fresh fruit?
I look at this and, despite all the current love of mid-mod retro aesthetics, I just don't see this ad happening today in even some sort of homage. Several reasons, but mostly the nostrils. This woman has terrifying nostrils. And bad Photoshopping has nothing on that airbrushed mask of a face. She's like a super-glam CPR dummy.

"Fabulously tufted" is not a marketing term I'm hearing enough of these days.

Pepsi makes you so skinny that you can wear horizontal stripes. WOW.
Seamless South Pacific Suntan Stockings... as sold by the Starbucks Mermaid's mom? (I would actually hang a print of this on my wall.)
What a dazzling comb. I would be proud to have it stick out of my back pocket. (Oh, wait, this is 1958, not 1978.) I'm so glad pointy-nail manicures went out of vogue. (They did, right?) I'd forgotten all about them.
I saw the green icy thing and thought, "Ooo, I want that." And then I read its recipe (Mint Frappe). I do not want that.
"Peekaboo Pigs." Was this a non-brand-specific type of shoe, or a Brown line?
"Never mind your purple past." What does that mean? What does the inside of the card say? What kind of Valentine's Day card is this? I want to know!
I was guilty of using pink bulbs circa 1989. (I still remember a drug-using friend quietly asking if there was something odd about the light in the room, or was she having a flashback.) But green?

"Colorful Cuba, too, enjoys..." Back when Americans could holiday in Cuba, drink Coke from glass bottles, and wear really floopy turbans. Meanwhile, my super-sized 21st century programming made me pause to wonder if they were drinking from shot glasses.
What year did coloured toilet paper go away? I remember it in the 1970s... maybe even in the late 1980s, when I had my first apartment.

A television in "alligator white." Alas, people loved their cabinets, and Philco went out of business a few years later.

Now Elsie the Cow is pushing the Lady Borden Lorraine Cherry on us. Those passive-aggressive bovine enablers...
The plastic menace has been around this long? Oh, I'm sorry, I mean "that golden goodness."

Marsettes. Aren't these... Rolos? A commercial: www.youtube.com/w...

Okay, just the other day I was wishing that oven doors lifted off... and then I read the comments on the photo and, what, they *do* lift off? Really? This changes EVERYTHING! (Running to kitchen to check.)

Shari Update: My oven door does not lift off. Sigh.

Fetching pins…
lelizaparker I'm pretty sure we had that couch in brown when I was a kid
Shari Was it like being hugged "fathoms deep"?
