"Sun-Maid Puffed are the only seeded raisins that pour freely from the carton. Large, full-meated, seeded Muscats that are not sticky. ...Sun-Maid Nectars are noted for superior plumpness and flavor as well as glossy skins and attractive appearance..."
These pictures are cute enough to sell me on the concept of raisin pie. Maybe with a little spiced rum added. [ponders]

The "Brittle" is actually puffed rice + raisins + some syrupy stuff. It sounds like it might be edible. I decided to pass on sharing the raisin gelatin molds, sandwiches, and salads, though. Life is too short.

I'm pretty sure the desert was for sale to somebody. The sellers just didn't advertise in non-trade publications.

I wonder whatever happened to their line of Non-Food Drinks.

The meatball dish seems disturbingly austere. Waiter! Bring me another gallon drum of Thousand Island! Hurry!

When your best-presented dish is sardine bits over essence of hard-boiled egg, you know it's time to get a new caterer.

At first, I was relieved that the recipes didn't actually include 7-Up IN the food. And then I read the recipes.

Your pizza should always be underbaked, then buried beneath six gallons of briny canned goodness! All the cool kids are doing it!
Front and back sections of a promotional fold-out published in 1959 by the Seven-Up Co., St. Louis, Missouri. (Shortly thereafter, it was deleted from this plane of existence by Walter Lantz and his army of lawyers.)

The floral factions seem to have reached an uneasy truce. But, for... how... long...?
From the July issue of Sunset magazine.
Avis Rental Car Ad, 1958

A lost opportunity. This ad just needed drizzle, a fog machine, and a smoking gun in Miss Avis' hand. Then it would've been Rental Noir.

"Did you ever watch a man in a restaurant? He'll order pie every time! And those with the golden, creamy filling, and high, light meringue are his favorites. He'll vote 'yes' on any of the following..."
Glad to hear it. There's no way I'm gonna' be seen in public with a dude who orders the Doc Spice Ten Soft Drink™ Pie. I don't care how freakin' MANLY it is!

"...Now your children may eat their scrapbook paste without fear of tummy-ache! Make them some fine paste by mixing one cup of boiling water, two tablespoons of tapioca, three tablespoons of sugar, and season with the juice of half a lemon. Put all ingredients together and cook until very thick."
You heard it here first, Ladies.

Front and back covers of a 32-page promo published by Mutual Orange Distributors of Los Angeles/Redlands, California. I'm really unsure of the year, but a 1942-43 edition of Who's Who In California says that Bruce McDaniel (mentioned inside) became General Manager of this growers collective in 1943. So that's what I'm going with for now.
