Vintage Food Advertisements: Part Twenty

I can remember these ice cream cubes wrapped in cardboard.  Both my Mom and Grandma used to buy them. They were pretty good too.

 

My Grandma always used Watkins Vanilla, and I’ve been using Watkins Baking Vanilla exclusively for about 3 years now and it makes anything baked with it better.  It contains pure vanilla extract, other natural flavors and fruit juice.  Its the richest tasting vanilla I’ve ever used.  I was always strictly a pure vanilla  extract user before I discovered this fine product and I’ll never change brands now. I always keep an extra bottle on hand.

 

Thanks Louie for these wonderful threads!  I look forward to each new post.

Eddie, I agree about using pure vanilla extract, but my go to is Nielsen Massey.  The flavor is fantastic.  Been using it for decades. Ran out a year or so ago bought some McCormick pure vanilla found it unusable, terrible taste.

 

Used to buy a 32 oz bottle for $40 or so, now an 8 oz bottle is $32. The 32oz bottle is down to $99 from a high a year or so ago of $140.

I think my mom made that Castilian Chicken recipe with Campbell's soup a couple times. I don't remember it going over too well.

Diced Cream is a new one on me. Maybe it was a regional thing.

I bought a bottle of Watkins vanilla a while back, but not used it yet. The only places I see it for sale is Menards, and Jungle Jim's.

Wife of the hometown Whirlpool dealer sold Watkins products at the store.

Tom,

I buy Watkins Baking Vanilla on eBay.  The last 11oz. bottle I bought was $16.99.

Eddie, that's not a bad price - I think it was a little higher at Jungle Jim's. Menards has it currently for $14.23, after the 11% rebate. I don't use it very often.
