Unbelievable Ads
Re: Unbelievable Ads
It's odd, all right, but why do you think it's creepy? I take it this is a waist so narrow that it would fit into a wedding ring. Wait, never mind the question, now I think it's creepy, too.

Re: Unbelievable Ads
I like this one. But 12¢?

I'd love to taste an original McDonald's meal. I wonder if it tasted very different? The hamburgers are only 15 cents! Oh, and you know how I love mascots! Speedee is adorable.

Re: Unbelievable Ads
Yeah, I love Speedee. I think they actually brought Speedee back sometime several years ago. I remember seeing some retro packaging with him on it.
Now I want some french fries. And I hardly ever eat them.
Some more MacDonald's prices of the era. Notice how they use an adjective at the beginning of each item.

Yum!!! I rarely eat McDonald's, but I'll have to settle for the pizza coming. Woe is me!

Cheeseburgers 19¢ instead of 20. Hard to believe a single penny ever mattered that much.
Here's another bigger look at Speedee.

Re: Unbelievable Ads
I looked around a bit to make sure there was such a product after getting fooled by the potato fudge. I found such evidence in the Barre, Vermont Daily Times, August 22, 1919 issue. Meanwhile, take a look at the bottom of the Saturday Specials Ad to the left. What does that mean? A quart of dead flies??
