Sugar Rush

Dextrose!  It wasn't always high fructose corn syrup that was in favor.  Dextrose is the ALL-AMERICAN SUGAR!  It requires no digestion!

These sugar/candy/dextrose propaganda ads are probably my absolute favorite kind of vintage ad. I have one that's like, "You know why you're hungry after exercising? Because you used all your energy and need to restore it with candy."

So eating a Baby Ruth is like eating atrawberries? And I won't get fat or break out?

Dextrose is the ALL-AMERICAN SUGAR, unlike those freedom-hating Polysaccharides!
