Tablecloths with Ovaltine!
Woman's Weekly / 27th June 1969
What was behind the obsession with giving away tablecloths in the late ’60s? Were British women going through some sort of tablecloth crisis?

You’re right, it is practical! And judging from the ‘rayon and flax’ mix, probably cheap to produce, as well.

Supertablecloth should be one word.

If Hitler had won, it probably would be by now. That joke probably only makes sense if you know any German.

More likely one product started giving away tablecloths and their sales started to rise meaning other companies started jumping onto the tablecloth wagon.
Quite a good giveaway, I think, nice and practical.
