Do you think they're trying to get a message across?

I count the word "digestible" occurring fifteen times in this ad.

The walnut squares don't sound too bad - but what exactly is Crisco? I am sure we don't have it here.

[murakozi.livejournal.com]

Crisco is just vegetable shortening.

Hydrogenated vegetable oil.

[chocoholicbec.livejournal.com]

Sounds delicious.

[erik]

It's light and digestible!

...And really really bad for you.

I wonder if I could bake those walnut squares and the pie, but replace the Crisco with some other vegetable oil. Like canola.

[erik]

Well maybe. But what they replaced with Crisco in that recipe was butter.

[elgoose.livejournal.com]

Or lard. Especially in the pie crusts. Lard makes great pie crusts, actually.

Crisco is a soft solid shortening, oil would not give the same results. I would use 1/2 butter & 1/2 lard.

But it's digestible!
