I'm not sure what to say about these two advertisements from the olden days. I suppose if one believes the advice of the first ad, the second product was there to keep the consumer fit(?) and trim. (If you're brave, you might need to click the second image to read exactly what's being sold. For the record, I didn't know you could even use the words "sanitized," "jar-packed," and "tapeworm" in the same sentence.)
I'm told these vintage ads are authentic. . . and it makes me shudder. Silly me, to think I was worried about a few bad peanuts and pistachio nuts.

O M G tapeworms. Cant they kill you or something? (malnutrition?)
I think we always paint this rosy picture of the past, but they did some weird stuff back in the day. I always wonder what my great grand children are going to laugh about when they take a look at the things we used to do, say and advertise.
"sanitized tapeworm" hmmmmm...seems a bit oxymoronic...not to mention dusgusting...uggggh!!!
Sorry Madre! I hope you weren't eating breakfast! Yes, what were they thinking??????
