These are all from Women's Realm magazines from 1966.











Bonus: Wine and eggs! Blech!

Okay, so basically that first one reads as Teratogen Toxic Wine to me.

Saw something similar. Oddly it's not that far off from some happy faced women in thalidomide ads.

When I lived in Scotland, rather than drowning housewives' sorrows, Buckfast was considered a garbage wine for teenagers prone to violent crime.

Not surprising. A fortified wine with added sugar and caffeine? That's some kind of bumwine trifecta.

i'll have a glass or two.

or is that a glass an hour? hey, let's legitimize the alchoholism of lonely housewives! hell, queen victoria was supposed to have occasionally drunk wine that had been infused with coca leaves...cocaine wine.

meh, a "medicinal" pick-me-up it is!

Tired? Bored? Lonely? DRINK UP!

Seriously! I can't believe the text of these lol!

I agree completely. I'm flabbergasted at the transparent approach...drink up, feel better!

"It's all right for him... to be drunk off his ass at work, so don't you give it a shot?"

Isn't this the sort of stuff those World War II posters warned us about?

All they had to do was keep laudanum legal and we would have never had to deal with this swill. Fucking fascists.

Gee, I dunno, maybe everything is an effort because you're drunk all the time?

I agree about the last one. Bleh! Hold the eggs, please.
