I like that "Dear Madam" thing. Wouldn't see that now! They'd be crying about the assumption that a woman may be doing the cooking.

Speaking of which, here are some "Tips to Housewives" courtesy of Wrigley.

I'll finish up this Wrigley's binge with these three. The first has the little ubiquitous mascot at the bottom. The Wintermint I don't every recall seeing before (and they sold it by the single stick??)

Cool!!! Weird to imagine that they sold it by the stick.

Here are some fun Eight O'Clock Coffee ads. First one is a vintage can, but still interesting.

I love Eight O’Clock coffee ads. :D I like coffee ads in general, and especially Eight O’Clock. They had some nice ones. Guess what, I actually have one of little coin tins like the one pictured, except mine is a Full Circle. Maybe I should round up an Eight O’Clock and a Bokar on ebay to have a set.

I’d like to know what Full Circle and Bokar tasted like. I like Eight O’Clock, but haven’t bought any in a long while, for some reason.

And now, I think I’ll go get a cup of coffee...

I really don't drink coffee much, but it has to taste similar to coffee ice cream for me to enjoy it! 🙂 I can't really drink a lot like some people can. It makes me really hopped up.

I drink half-caff. I make a full pot each morning and keep it in a thermal carafe, and have a little from time to time throughout the day. If I didn't use half-caff, I'd be up cruising the internet at 3:30 in the morning. :)

That's a *cool* (get it?!) ad. I always thought it was strange that they came in twos.
