Retro Tuesday: 2 Sides of Gelatin

First I'd like to apologize for my tardiness...I feel so tired and lazy today! I must take some vitamins! Is it all that pedaling to and from work? Is it work? LOL

So today our ads are courtesy of Woman's Day October 1963 ( you know the one, it's the one that fits in my scanner!!!)

Again about the dieting....

EEEEWWWWW! Hit me in the head with a bowling ball before I swallow a packet of Knox gelatin dissolved in bouillon out of my own free will!

It's supposed to be a diet aid, it fills you up so you eat less....But what if you eat too much?

What happens then?

This

happens

If you eat too much and you're a man you eat Jell-o as a dessert. If you are wide,stout,chubby,chunby or whatever adjective you might place here (I could just put my pic here) and you're a woman you eat your gelatin BEFORE the meal.Those 2 ads come from the SAME magazine. How come nobody saw that?

Are we that much more sensitive to those issues today? I want equal gelatin for everybody!

Fat bastards rejoice! You will now be having a glass of knox Gelatin dissolved in bouillon BEFORE the meal to curb your appetite and ladies you have your gelatin whenever you want because now there are some fat free alternatives on the market!

Those ads always get me carried away...Sorry about that!

For a real HAM of a Retro Tuesday hop to Tracy's blog Crazy Suburban Mom

She knows how to cook! I'm coming over Tracy with dessert!

Retro Tuesday: Brought to you by the letter G!

The letter G for....You guessed it! GELATIN! On my last Salvation Army visit I was lucky enough to find the Better Homes and Garden Salad Book! This will be good for some laughs I said to myself....I had no idea how much!

For today's show and tell I chose 

some of the most pukalicious pictures....no jokes!

YUM! the shrimp-lime Double Decker! Do you realise that the lime is provided by lime Jell-o? Eeeewww! Lime Jell-o and shrimp? Where is a barf bag when I need one?

The Perfection Salad....Ever popular!  A hearty winter salad! I'm sorry but I don't associate gelatin salads with winter! BRRRRR! And check out the shredded cabbage it looks like WORMS! Double EEEEWWWW!!!

 

The Lemony Salmon Towers.....I'm speechless....I feel like throwing up right now on my laptop!

Last but not least the I can't believe they covered the table with cucumbers salad! And tomatoes.My mind must be in the gutter 'coz I can't help but find this phallic. They even filled the top of the center cuke with mayonnaise! And can you believe that they censored TV and movies....

I rest my case!
