Vintage Chocolate Ads

I'm always in the mood for chocolate.  In fact, I'm pretty sure I just did a post on desserts the other day and here I am obsessing over vintage chocolate ads.  I only chose ads of chocolates that still sell today, that I know of, but there are many many more yummy cute chocolate ads from the past.  Here are just a few!

This ad is too cute!


I've never tried Reese's chilled.  Sounds good.

An old German ad.
Is it me, or is this ad suggestive?

I love what the kid is saying on the bottom: "When fatigue sets in- remember Baby Ruth is high in DEXTROSE, the sugar your body uses directly for energy!"
It's like an energy bar!

Enjoy!

"Vintage" I Would Never Buy


Occassionally, I look through old magazines to study fashion and characteristics of that period.  I was browsing through this January 1976 edition of "Woman's Day" and came across this unappetizing picture of spinach soufflĂ©.  Needless to say, I'm pretty sure Don Draper would NOT approve nor endorse this.  This is one "vintage" item that did not last, unless I'm unaware of it in the grocery markets.  If you can't read the pitch below the picture, here it is and it's hilarious!

Since man first tasted spinach, hardly anyone has thought of it with affection. 
Stouffer's changed all that.  By making spinach into Spinach Souffle.
And, quite simply, to taste this spinach dish is to love it.
That's because we take the freshest young spinach we can find.  Blend it with pure eggs. Pure milk.  and judicious seasoning.
And voila!  A light, delicate, delicious souffle.
We make 12 Side Dishes in all.  And if we can make spinach taste this good, imagine how good the others are.
Only Stouffer's makes spinach into Spinach Souffle.
Vive la difference.

I love how they focus on the taste and not how it's a big block of green.  Would you try it?

I Can't Get Enough of Emma Domb


The picture above comes from a Modern Bride Magazine from 1956.  How stunning are both those gowns? The more vintage clothing from Emma Domb I come across, the more she becomes one of my favorite vintage designers.  Excuse my lack of words, but everything is just so pretty!

Above is an Emma Domb for cotton advertisement that states: "The message in this bottle is clear to see: well-dressed girls are always found in cotton!"
 Emma Domb floral dress in cotton fabric from Fluegelman, $35.00
Once again, just so beautiful, classy, and elegant.  I wish I could find that dress for a mere $35!



I have the following Emma Domb dresses listed in my shop, just waiting
for some lucky new owners.  I wish the yellow dress would fit me
because it would be a wonderful dress to wear on a special date night,
an outdoor wedding, or anything!  But, that dress is made for an extremely
petite woman and I can barely fit it.  So, off to the shop it goes.

If anyone knows of any other Emma Domb vintage ads, please let me know!
