Heinz 1957
View attachment 318677

Heinz probably was the best ketchup at that time. Del Monte was also good, as was Campbell's and Hunt's. The rest seemed pretty bad, though. I remember my mom would get some brand called Tip-Top, and it was thin and unflavorful.

I hadn't heard anything about Tip-Top for years, but it looks like they're still in business in Tip City, OH. I hope they've improved their product. They mainly make store brands now.

Yes Louie, In our home Bosco was supreme too, in cold milk for chocolate milk and hot milk for hot chocolate.

Before my sister was born we lived next door to an elderly woman named Mrs. Brennen and she used to invite me into her kitchen to have “coffee”and she’d give me a cup of hot Ovaltine and it made me feel so important at the age of 3 and 4.

Bosco was ALWAYS my favorite too!
Still is!

Sweetose 1947

That Sweetose was a wartime product---1947 was right at the end of sugar rationing and this looks like one way to try to keep some relevance. Recently scanned Better Homes and Gardens from about 1944 through 1947 (times were tough even after the war) and found that Staley (as opposed to CPC/Karo) was doing a lot of "save sugar" messaging, including using what I presume was high fructose corn syrup for canning.
