For my baptism in 1951 my mother made Lord and Lady Baltimore cakes- -not from a mix. Ironically, she had worked at General Mills before the war. We got our first TV in about 1958. Before then we watched at friends and neighbors.

[@ge-20express75]

There's an underlying, but obvious fact, the TV industry had class back then. Not just because of censorship of sex and violence, but they also understood that people love to eat and watch TV without worrying about losing one's appetite. We've lost the ability to filter out things that might gross people out by saying and showing things we still consider inappropriate at the dinner table. For some reason loss of classiness is sadly mistaken for progress.

[@gamerlikesretro8516]

Thank you for your lovely comment!

[@linkskywalker5417]

To be fair, you do need to lose the bullshit that is "classiness" in order to progress. Fuck classiness if it means you don't get to see the truth. Besides, not everything in the world is safe for families. The TV industry didn't understand that there were uncomfortable truths that do gross people out.

[@ge-20express75]

@@linkskywalker5417 I disagree. As far as I'm concerned they were considerate of the viewers pleasure. They understood that many people loved to eat dinner while watching TV (remember the TV dinner)? Now they seem more intent on shock value. I understand your point about realism. In a WWII movie, when American soldiers arrived in small boats sailing up to the European shores, many got sea sick. So a movie showing soldiers vomiting is understandable. Most of the time though when movies and TV shows do this it's unnecessary. And when commercials do it, it's obviously a lack of consideration, and yes, classiness. If you invited someone over for dinner, and while you're eating they went into detail about getting sick during a hang over, would you write it off as realism?

[@linkskywalker5417]

@@ge-20express75 I was talking about realism on television. Also, and more importantly, why even watch television at all during dinner anyway? Shouldn't dinner be a time where you and your family talk to each other instead of watching TV? Also, wouldn't watching television while eating prevent you from watching your intake? Dining rooms exist for a reason.

[@greggi47]

@@linkskywalker5417 People watching TV while eating dinner sounds so quaint now. I am always amazed and appalled when I eat at restaurants and see couples--and entire families--looking at their phones when they're not eating. No talk, no looking around at other diners.

Effective selling...Betty Furness was one of the most effective salespeople EVER

Only on my channel are retro commercials in the best quality. Because I do frame-by-frame digital restoration. Don't miss the new videos!

[@OldDood]

I do remember my mother boiling water in her 'Revere Ware Pan' and letting it sit inside the Freezer to soften up the frost. Many of us had a 'Chest Freezer' either in the basement or in the Garage. Because the Freezer on the Frig was not near large enough. Those were the days. A simple life. I sure miss it now... However, I am grateful we lived during those times.

[@kaymuldoon3575]

I remember my mom having to defrost the freezer. What a pain.

[@andrewthornhill7042]

I used to do that with mine until I got a frost-free model.

Betty Crocker has the same flavors. I guess what’s not broke don’t fix it

At least they didn’t cancel her, like they did to Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben.

[@gwenniegirl50]

First time I see a person depict Betty Crocker.

[@andrewthornhill7042]

​@@zekeonstormpeak4186 Unfortunately the perception was that the personas of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben were racially deprecating because of the names and/or cover art. Betty Crocker, perceived as non-coloured, was spared this ignominy.

So very interesting to me to see these commercials that were made for various products, in the year I was born. Many of these I remember from my childhood years. Thank you very much for all of these. 1045 PDT.

It was funny when they gave irreverent comments to their sponsors. Like Arthur Godfrey did. And it sold the product even better.

Back in the day when you didn't need a HAZMAT SUIT to give your child a peanut butter sandwich to take to school. EDUCATORS TAKE NOTE!

[@teresas8173]

Peanut allergies are much more common now. Scientists and doctors aren’t sure why. But they should be taken seriously since they can be deadly. Most children will outgrow a peanut allergy. Before making a comment like yours, why don’t you simply do a little research. Just because this hasn’t been your experience doesn’t make it false or an exaggeration. SO TAKE NOTE.

Change the cast, call her Betty Crackhead and the commercial would be acceptable today.
