The first one is my fave - cross-religion friendship based on biscuits/crackers.





Look what hygenic tonics can do for you!  Especially those based in wine and quinine!

I never knew, Campbell's sold men!
Nor, how one can have a hunky one for the price of a Campbell soup can.
Excellent news; I can afford roundabout 1 & 1/2.

My personal (now digital&public) favourite is Byrrh's (Tonic).
Scientific proof of the medical and otherwise rectifying benefits from fluids as ancient as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine has been around as word-of-mouth marketing (one might even say in-the-mouth marketing) as well as presented in instant and effective copy http://www.poemhunter.com/best-poems/hilaire-belloc/heroic-poem-in-praise-of-wine/ for forever and a day, so there can be no doubt about the many health gains won by way of wine.
Not sure about the Quinquina content though. Seems, it can have an arousing side-effect as if it were an aphrodisiacum; an early form of Viagra maybe but really; what's that black cat all about?
Mystery&suspense: what is hidden beneath the table?
(A cardboard box containing Campbell's cans for cats?)
Or is it a dog?
The disrespectful position this poor animal is depicted in is most worrying, what do they mean by it?
Must now have a biscuit.

I'm sorry, but I can't think of the Campbell's one as anything other than "HANDJOBS FOR EVERYONE!"
