I just found this 1864 Presidential campaign ad in a book about life on the home front during the Civil War and *had* to share it. Needless to say, McClellan lost the election (and there was much rejoicing!)

From 1940: a jello mold.
A plum pudding jello mold.

Oddly, though, this one might actually be edible.
Note as well the sidebar, with its suggestion of celery stuffed with a mixture of chili sauce and peanut butter.

This one might appeal to some (I guess,) but I think it looks pretty gross.

One of my favorite soft drinks, and having Ann-Marget as a singing and dancing pitch-person ain't too shabby either!

I'm not even sure what the crap this is supposed to be.
From the name, and the use of soy sauce and rice I surmise that it's meant to be taken as some suburban white-bread version of "Chinese".

I don't think photographing it in color would have helped.

There is something unappetizing about the very word "mackerel".
That this dish was so repellent they had to print the photograph TWO INCHES BIG did not help.
