Erica lost the draw. Now she has to sit there and repeatedly bump her head on the light fixture until dinnertime.

Miss Martin is keeping up appearances, but you can tell it's been a long week and that her feet are killing her. I just want to buy her a rum punch at the bar in O'Hare and hand her a big Xmas bonus check, don't you?

Back then, airplane galleys were so roomy that you could do your holiday baking while traveling!

Featuring one of those nice colors that I never wear, becuase I hate looking like I've got yellow jaundice. [sulks in corner]

Put The Un In Cooking Fun With 7up (8), 1969

The apple design needs to be on my future food cart, and on my line of tie-in T-Shirts.
Meanwhile, the directions on the right remind us: "To keep the sparkle in 7UP, please don't 'paddle your punch.'"
At least not if it's an all-ages celebration.

The "Nutty Upside Down Apple Pie" sounds complicated. If anyone reading has turned one of these out successfully, I want to see photographic evidence. Pretty please?

I still can't get used to the concept of "7up Pancakes" . I would totally wear the left side image as earrings, though. The "Cookie Pot" would have been a treasured ceramic pendant in 2nd or 3rd grade, too. I would have pretended to get why the bigger kids laughed at the word "pot," but I was pretty sheltered back then. :o

The bread clearly wouldn't turn out sweet enough with just a bottle of 7up and a cup of sugar per loaf. You'd want to dunk each slice in honey and confectioners sugar after it emerged from the oven. Y'know, just to make sure.

You can glimpse the face of Marvin the Martian on the left side tray if you hold the page just right.

Cheddar-Clam-7up Dip? Shrimp-Cottage Cheese-7up Dip?
If I smoked enough funny cigarettes beforehand, I might be motivated to class these as edible.
Anything involving Braunschweiger, though, is out. With or without fizzy stuff in it. (Gah.)

Crank up the Vivaldi, mix a 7up with some canned fruit cocktail and voila! It's a "Prelude To Dinner"!
....
Yeah.

I love these illustrations, and I'm sad they're not credited. But I still prefer my 7up as the good Lord made it: In a glass, with nothing added but some ice and maybe a straw.

Oh, just a few crumbs of painted plaster cherub and a tiny bit of silk fern for me, please. I had a big lunch. Really!

Something has clearly gone wrong with Mrs. Metropolis' leg. Also, how is that poor plant going to get any light when it's sitting all the way down near the floor?
Meanwhile, Mrs. Suburbia seems to have a splendid view of the brand new middle school. So she can reflect on her lost youth if there's nothing on the air worth watching.

Huh. From the top, I see Summer, Spring, and Fall represented. But where's Winter?
