The Mock Apple Pie thread (and subsequent degeneration into apples vs. Ritz
Crackers, what year?) reminded me of this hilarious website:

For Pico: Don't get in a snit... it's not a video. It's a link to photos
of old cookcook covers/pages and magazine print ads (some with recipes!) for
things people thought were just grrrreaaat! in the 1950's. It's hilarious!
