Something about the hand creeps me out and the way the beer looks like it's going to be poured down her lovely face.
Also they're supposed to be sharing a nice time together with the cold beer but they're barely even looking at each other. LOL
So prim and proper yet distant. Very lovely endorsers BTW..they don't make people look like that anymore these days.

1892 Gold Dust washing powder

Wikipedia says that the Gold Dust twins didn't make their first appearance as a soap mascot until 1897, but I found this in a Sept 1892 Ladies' Home Journal. But who am I to argue with Wikipedia? I've been paying 12 cents a pound for my washing powder like a crazy lady.

Exactly what IS the narrative here? Edgar Rice Burroughs meets Joe Gage? Mighty-thewed hero rides bug-eyed monster into post-apocalyptic bathhouse and throws shade on the slightly-less-mightily-thewed clones, generates mushroom cloud, advocates fisting?
