The Regrettable Food Gallery as presented by The Institute of Official Cheer (TIOOC) TIOOC has, in their own words, "been bringing the past to life and beating it to death since 1996."
The Gallery of Regrettable Foods is a smorgasbord of retro advertising and cookery. I'm calling my mother, today, and thanking her for not feeding us this stuff as we were growing up! I do remember, however, the envy I felt as some of my friends homes when their mom popped open a can of something for dinner.
I chose this particular picture because it brought to mind the tomato aspic that my grandmother made to celebrate each holiday.
The editor also offers insightful observations with regard to each photo
". . . and then it went back down again. Guys stood there looking at this thing, thinking yeah, that’s the problem with tomato juice, it’s not solid enough."
Mr. Lileks also offers us a link dedicated to dogs in newspapers
Because this is a dog blog, I give you the Animals of YouTube singing Deck the Halls

Eww. What is that? Pork with "fresh-cooked" flavour? Yummy. It's too bad they don't sell that anymore because those canned weiners are making my stomach growl.
Or something. Grossness.
Even the idea of aspic cracks me up. Why, just why?
Yeah, I'm not hungry anymore either...!
Elyse and Riley
P.S.--Riley, OF COURSE, is still hungry though.
This is so funny! I remember my neighborhood friend got to have spam! I was so jealous! Hahaha, can you imagine?
Oh, my mom just LUVS this post! She works in advertising and always gets such a kick out of the retro ads. Pawsonally, I don't see anything wrong with EITHER of those meat ads.

Kristine, yeah, that might not be a hunger growl. My stomach was a little upset, too.
Elyse, Stumpy would love this stuff, too!

Mayzie, glad your mom got a kick out of it!
Mango's mom, times have changed, haven't they? Thankfully.
