Vintage Advertisements

I came across this old advertisement for Chesdale Cheese from New Zealand.

This holds a special place in my heart because a friend of mine who has since passed away, wrote this ... he was an elder and a beautiful pianist he also worked for TVNZ, but more than that, he was a beautiful faithful servant of Jehovah. His wife and son/daughter-in-law are visiting our congregation at the moment ... the latter live in Tonga and Jehovah has given them so many blessings in the field.I really love this family they are a constant source of spiritual encouragement.

 

Enjoy the ad - it has a very 'kiwi' type of lifestyle conveyed

I'm sorry Greg, square donuts do not do it for me.

 

John never had dunkin donuts. But look better than Gregs cardboard ones.

Mom had a Rambler station wagon and yes we ate these many times.  😜 

Dad never complained.

Regarding t.v. dinners, I ate more than a few of them when growing up, usually when the household budget was tight. Not much has changed though, they just call them frozen dinners and you cook them in the microwave. Oh yeah, they cost four times as much now!

I never heard of that toy - and I was around in 1965

 

It looks like a "plumbers friend" (toilet plunger) with streamers fastened to it ... it looks like it would be about as much fun as

When I was young, dehydrated potato flakes came onto supermarket shelves that you just added hot water and butter to and was advertised with a funny advertisement:

There were a whole series of jokey advertisements for PG tips tea in UK that featured chimpanzees. Here's just one of them:

When I first saw that, I thought it was going to be an animal abuse advert, lol.
