Prinzen Rolle cookies by De Beukelaer (Europe, by mail in US).  SO SO SO SO SO SO GOOD.

They recently did a retrospective of their packaging from the (l-r) current, 50s, 60s, and 70s.  I ate so many of these in 1984-85 while overseas (and on a few trips since).  The Internet has brought them back into my life.




PRO TIP: Do not get Bahlsen's version, "Hit".  They are not a hit.

herewith, three ads:


1970s



1980s



90s

In lieu of Hump Day Hunks, I offer this trio of weirdness...

How many adverts can say "Angel Dead Baby". (Fans of Supernatural,we have a near BINGO)


NOPE NOPE NOPE

The only secure, the cleanest and most poison-free means to complete and longlasting elimination of beetles.

And this ... sounds really painful.

Babette Chocolate, 1963


That is my favorite chocolate.  Mothers have requirements.  Doll mothers too.  But the new Babette-Chocolate tastes so fine, so truly good - you just close your eyes and reach out twice: one for the doll-child, one Mama nibbles herself.  Choose between five Babette varieties.  Babette is a model example for the quality of all products of the GEG.  Babette Chocolate available in KONSUM stores.

Butter Vegetables!

4 fine garden vegetables with pure herb butter (table ready).

A bit of bread for breakfast with good butter, that is good.

For the good housewife it is common sense to care properly for her family with clever rationing.  She knows her responsibility.  Thus butter comes into the house before anything else - exceptionally fresh, delicious butter.  That's really the best way to care for the family.

*as a side note, those kids' backpacks are rigid and god help you if you get on a bus with 25 of them.  Massive internal organ damage.

One of the stranger angles to shoot an ad from.  If you can translate the French, please do.



And a jazzy German ad for Reval

Italian, Spanish and German ads with felinenophiles.

Im guessing either late 50s or early 60s

From the Flickr pages of Harald Haefker, a beautiful set of five ads (all link to bigger versions) for Lufthansa Cocktail in several varieties.

(Lufthansa is the main German airline.  The cocktail was Apricot-Orange liqueur 30%abv, is apparently for sale).

Wide is the world, our luck is near.  To us! with Lufthansa cocktail.



THREE MORE! )
