Guess what's in the blue casserole dish and win a prize! (Hint: this being Lent, it's likely to contain tuna or American cheese. Possibly both.) From the February issue of Good Housekeeping magazine.

After the first six months of marriage, you can upgrade to the pancake makeup that contains Valium.

I'm thankful that there's no illustration of the Chili Omelet. In my imagination, it's scary enough.

Featuring the Tang jar that didn't accompany any astronauts during the 1970s. Also, I had never heard of canned "rice dinner" until today. Live and learn.

It's kind of impressive that they kept those Soviet onion-top bottles alive during the height of the Cold War.

Love the coffee grinder illustration, but I have no idea why it's here, since they didn't actually make coffee. Front and back covers of a promo published by Nalley's, Inc., Tacoma, Washington.

Yes, everyone can wear these fashion wonders! Why not buy some for your mechanic, for your dog, for Uncle Fred... ? From Good Housekeeping magazine.

Welcome to the latest installment of "Throw Any Random Crap In A Big Dish And Call It 'Dinner'."

"...Using Instant PET as a dry ingredient, you can easily give your family extra bone-and-muscle-building nourishment-- much more than if regular bottled milk were used..." Front and back covers (above), plus two pages (below) from a 32-page booklet published by Pet Milk Co., St. Louis, Missouri.

This idea is reinforced by the bottom left page, which implies that its target audience only has the cash for one kind of baking implement. (Maybe the sequel showed how to morph a cookie sheet into a cake pan by embedding it in tinfoil or something.)

(L) I swear, I have no idea what the hell is going on in this print. Maybe in its native Italy, it doubled as a Rorschach test. (R) Because 21 is the perfect age to start dressing like a matron. Clipped from the February issue of Good Housekeeping

Upside-down cake, then cottage cheese with wilted iceberg lettuce (?)... Talk about a strong start and then a big letdown. From the October issue of Western Family magazine.

This ad is about three steps away from becoming a French bedroom farce. From Everywoman's magazine.

Always wait for the bar lights to be dimmed, then sneak out without paying your tab. From the March 17th issue of Time magazine.

Eww... Who put... healthy food in my brandy snifter?

Heh. They said "Pleasure Boat." Heh heh. From the March issue of Field & Stream magazine.

I wonder why the rye has such a wide mouth compared to the other bottles. So you can down it twice as fast?

I have no idea what that white star thing on the tray is, but I want one!
