Seriously, these are so much...OHMYGODYTHISISAWSOME. Seriously, these are so much of what I LOVE about old ad campaigns. The colors, the concept, the weirdly stylized illustrations.<br /><br />P.S., Freeze some bananas until they're totally hard, then blend them for many minutes in the food processor, until completely smooth. Then eat it -- IT MAGICALLY BECOMES ICE CREAM. Seriously, there's some kind of chemical magic in the texture of bananas, it becomes creamy deliciousness. They should've put THAT recipe in this campaign! ;)Cammilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14789861707977033486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-18419549161997181842012-07-19T12:59:46.381-05:002012-07-19T12:59:46.381-05:00Fantastic post!

My Mom and Dad used to tell me that when they first got married, they were very poor and barely scraping by. When they'd go to the grocery store every week, they'd always get Pepsi in glass bottles, bananas and white bread and a bag of chips. That was their treat every week when they got home - a meal of banana sandwiches with chips and Pepsi. I think that's why the banana sandwich is sentimental to me. United Fruit Company was totally missing out by not making a banana sandwich poster!Eartha Kitschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189308677139650882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-86921639287012110302012-07-19T09:45:56.068-05:002012-07-19T09:45:56.068-05:00My parents are both banana-in-cereal people.

Lord how I hated breakfast when I was a kid, but I am not a fan of cold cereal. I always liked weekend breakfasts best when there were pancakes or doughnuts.<br /><br />I've seen some of these ads before in old magazines and they are totally ridiculous! They're so nutritious--just add ice cream, cake or pie! And, yes, you're totally right about nurses' uniforms.Lauren Hairstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037717621464819611noreply@blogger.com
