The Dionne Quintuplets for Kre-mel Desserts, 1941

Five ads for Kre-mel puddings, each featuring one of the quints, lovingly portrayed, with a personality profile.  It's kind of creepy, this obsession with them, but as a wartime diversion for Canada, it was hugely successful.

Wonder who got the money for that ad? I'm sure it wasn't them.

No, nor their family, which had many other children to raise.

They were hugely popular in the US, too. My mother said she had a Dionne Quintuplets doll to go with her Shirley Temple doll when she was growing up in the 1930s.
