Serve eggs, save money…
Woman's Weekly / 4th April 1969
I’ve featured this Egg Marketing Board’s campaign before, but that lad’s expression is definitely worth sharing.

Looks familiar?
Woman's Own / 13th June 1969
Hmm…don’t these look like the Whoopie Pies which are currently sweeping the nation’s supermarkets? Maybe someone else out there has a similar magazine collection to me!
The Complete Sweet – Pregnancy Strength
Woman's Weekly / 23rd May 1969
Yeah, I’ve done this before, but couldn’t resist the lovely image of a preggers woman stuffing her face with Pineapple Surprise.

Strawberries and Cream, my arse.
Woman's Weekly / 23rd May 1969
A Happy New Year to all my readers. Now the holiday celebrations are over, we traditionally have to give our wallets a rest and look for more frugal desserts. The makers of Angel Delight knew this, hence the rather wild claims of this advert. I’ve tasted Strawberry Angel Delight, and I can’t say that strawberries and cream leapt to mind. Perhaps we need to wish really hard…

Sam’s Special
Woman's Weekly / 9th May 1969
The British Egg Marketing Board strikes again! This kind of cute little chap is sadly absent from advertising nowadays, as is the term ‘Aunt ‘Et’. I’m trying to figure out which name he’s shortening here: Hettie (presumably a shortening itself of Henrietta)? Harriet?

Findus
Woman's Weekly / 16th May 1969
That crisp, golden coating seals in all the flavour: and the cooking oil, I’ll wager…
Cape Pears
Woman's Realm / 18th March 1967
Ah, the sweet taste of…oh, sorry, I’ve already done that one. It’s an admirable attempt to get consumers to recognise that sometimes, fruit on its own can be great, but I’m not tempted, sadly.
HP Sauce: in colour!
Woman's Weekly / 11th April 1969
Yeah, I know I’ve already published a HP ad, but oooooh, just *look* at those bangers and mash…
The Food-Drink of the Night…
Woman's Weekly / 4th April 1969
Cor, advertisers really made you work back in the ’60s, didn’t they? Doing their work, specifically. Horlicks is still marketed as a bedtime drink, unlike Ovaltine, but audience participation seems to be less encouraged nowadays. Jocelyn seems like a nice girl, but I couldn’t care less whether she got her secretarial qualifications, to be honest. Also, check out the sleep chart, where ‘science’ is showing us what sleep is really like, and the reassurance that Horlicks isn’t a drug. Given some of the products on the market back then, I can see what they’re getting at…
