Cointreau Liqueur Ad, 1948

So today's lesson (apart from the usual "Ooh, Shiny!") is: Expensive booze over cheap fruit, for the win!

I need to find and post an ad that says just the opposite. Otherwise, the universe won't stay in balance.

From the August issue of House Beautiful.

Clockwise: Golden Punch, Strawberry Punch, Orange/Lime Punch, and Champagne Delight Punch.

"Your punch bowl is more than a punch bowl. It serves crisp salad greens invitingly, molds gelatin desserts glamorously, holds fruit compotes colorfully. And for a punch party sensation, freeze liquid in gelatin mold, unmold and float in your favorite punch. It's as easy as it is elegant."

I feel like an underachiever now. I only take out the punchbowl once a year: On January 1st.

Clippings from inside the fold-out. Clockwise: Almond Cranberry Punch, Christmas Cranberry Punch (love the Bugles™ cameo!), Sparkling Red Punch (which also has cranberries in it!), and Pink Lemonade Punch (which has the romantic motif, but no cranberries).

There's a message in all this which eludes me...

They taunt you throughout this epic with photography and graphics straight out of booze how-tos from the same period, not to mention pictures of shakers and the word "cocktail." But don't be fooled. The entire booklet is as dry as midday in the Sahara. [grumble]

..."In the early days, tea was enjoyed as a hot drink exclusively. It wasn't until 1904, at the St. Louis Exhibition, that iced tea became a beverage. A vendor at the exhibition was not having much luck selling hot tea on this particular summer day, so he poured it over ice and found that he had created a beverage that Americans liked..."

The apple design needs to be on my future food cart, and on my line of tie-in T-Shirts.

Meanwhile, the directions on the right remind us: "To keep the sparkle in 7UP, please don't 'paddle your punch.'"

At least not if it's an all-ages celebration.

General Foods was uncharacteristically honest here. Instead of the homemaker being depicted in a crown and ermine robes or whatever, she's literally part of the woodwork.

It's nice to see the drinks presented so sedately before the entire booklet goes completely off the rails.
