I recall Kix cereal but newer packaging.

Have used crushed Lorna Doone cookies for cheesecake crust.

I loved Kix cereal as a tyke, plain as it was. Eventually learned I was fond of cereals based on corn and/or oat flour.

 

Update: Made the barbecue chicken sauce from the Mazola ad upthread and it was quite good. Interesting how ingredients/tastes evolve over the decades.  It definitely tasted like the 1950s.

 

Now...for some perverse reason I want to give the Patio Platter gelatin mold a try.  Quarantine Substitutions:  2 boxes sugar-free lemon Jello for the unflavored gelatin and lemonade concentrate.  Don’t have a beautiful mold as pictured above, but a glass bowl will do, LOL.

 

Thanks for the latest batch of ads, Louie! I always find something interesting (or odd) to try.

 

 

[Ultramatic]

LOL!

Margarine re;

In the late 50's in Wisconsin, dairy farnmers staged a boycot against margarine because it cut into their butter sales.
I knew a guy named LaRosa. "Lacosanostra" he was. In my business you met quite a few of those back in the day.

 

[jamiel]

There are some really funny (in hindsight) vignettes out on the internet about the Margarine Wars in Wisconsin---there were Margarine Runs down to Waukegan, IL from Milwaukee and big roadside signs.

Power of Suggestion: I’d forgotten about Kix cereal before seeing the 1939 ad for it (Reply #65). Picked up a box and it turns out I still like it, LOL.

 

Reply #76-  While not a huge fan of cherry pie, I think the vanilla Puddin’ Top would be great on blueberry pie, as well.

 

Reply #79- My dad loved a thin slice of Cheddar cheese melted over apple pie. A typical tyke, I had to have mine the same way...and still do! This also explains why, to this day, I pair steak and burgers with hash browns. At any rate, had no idea people were doing the same thing with cherry pie.

 

Reply #82-  Ah, yes; harkens back to when we thought margarine was a healthier alternative to saturated fat-heavy butter. Little did we know that decades later it would be discovered trans fats were far worse for heart health.

 

Thanks for the latest batch of ads, Louie! You’re definitely doing God’s work here.

 

[Ultramatic]

LOL Eugene! You're welcomed!

 

 

I still eat Kix on occasion. And Alpha Bits (when I can find it). All the other cereals I used to eat as a kid are just too sweet for my palate now.

Can anyone read the ingredients for the EAGLE BRAND EGG CUSTARD? I'd like to make it but can't blow up the print enough to read the amounts correctly.

 

[DADoES]

 
3/4 cup Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
2-3/4 cups hot water
3 eggs
3/4 tsp salt
grating of nutmeg

Blend Eagle Brand Sweetened Condense Milk with hot water, and pour gradually over slightly-beaten egg. Add salt. Pour in a baking pan or in custard cups. Sprinkle with nutmeg, place in a pan filled with hot water to depth of custard, and bake about 40 minutes in a slow oven (300°F) or until custard is set. A knife blade inserted will come out clean when custard is done. Serves six.

Does that seem reasonable quantities?

 

[circlew]

Glenn, that seems like a lot of salt in proportion to the other ingredients. Maybe it should be 1/4 tsp.?
