Whatever you do, just don't look that tomato directly in the eyes!

Back then, they deliberately made fish in its normal form look as frightening as possible, so people would freak out and just buy the sticks.

"Football fans will tear down the grandstand-- if you build it with cheese! This platter, with a simple football field design on green paper, with cheese and olives ingeniously used as players, makes a perfect snack tray for before and after game parties. The clever hostess can develop similar ideas for other events."

What's up with that weird dismembered head effect on the sandwich plate? You've got the olive eyes/pickle nose thing happening in front-- then that weird sauce-tongue effect with the sandwich...

The most edible-looking candidate is definitely the "Cuban Submarine" on the lower left. I'm kind of amazed they gave it such a scandalous name, though.

"It's an open-and-shut case! Sandwiches, those all-time favorites, are perfect fare for hot August days... Each is a jiffy 'full-course meal'...

"Whenever sandwiches are served, have a good mustard and a spicy catsup around, since very often men like to add their own little personal touch to them. Be sure, too, to have a sharp knife on hand to cut your sandwiches..."

Some of these look like they'd rate a chainsaw, actually. Also, I had no idea that you could once buy canned lobster claw all across America! The Fifties were awesome!
