Meatloaf and Wrigley's Spearmint Gum

This vintage ad reads,''The pleasant and natural chewing helps relieve tension''.... Isn't that an interesting way to toot chewing gum? This seems like the perfect egghead marketing solution for today's stressed out masses.  And.....meatloaf is such a comfort food to boot that this BIZARRE combination seems very relaxing!

Licking My Way to Thunder Thighs

Apparently I've been licking my way to thunder thighs. Starchy stamp glue is very caloric! Sealing envelopes via the slobbery tongue method will run you a gut busting 5 calories apiece.  I need to cut back on the mail and concentrate on......brownies!

Editor: Where's my vintage image little lady?

Marie: Oooooops!

Here is a looker of a French stamp from Zanzibar!

Postcard Friendship Friday #28 - 7 Up!

vintage postcards

Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda was launched two weeks before the Wall Street Crash of 1929! It was marketed specifically as a hangover cure. BLLLLS certainly doesn't have a catchy ring to it. The name was changed to 7 up pretty quickly! I've been sick sick sick lately and sipping 7 up has always helped cure my upset tummy:)
