Thursday Throw Back #7 : Ocean Spray Cranberry Punch for cookbook club

We recently went to a library cookbook club and took lasagna and this Festive Cranberry Punch from Ocean Spray thanks to a recipe cut out many years ago.  It was a beautiful red color and tasted wonderful.  As you can see from the gallon jug there was very little left at the end of the evening.

Just three ingredients: cranberry juice, orange juice, and lemon-lime soda.

Throwback Thursday #11 : Old (Vintage) shampoo bottles

 St. Ives Swiss Formula Papaya Plus, Halsa, Pert, Head and Shoulders in a glass container, and Denorex.    St. Ives is still around but they aren't making shampoo anymore.  They have a large line of facial and body wash products and lotions.  https://www.stives.com/        Halsa shampoo was around in the eighties but has since been discontinued.   Pert shampoo is still around but the packing looks a lot different.  https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Pert&ref=bl_dp_s_web_7481224011

Head and Shoulders is definitely still around: https://www.headandshoulders.com/en-us

  as is Denorex: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Denorex&ref=bl_dp_s_web_18654013011

 

Throwback Thursday #31 : Baskin-Robbins 31 flavor list of ice cream 1971

Here's the 31 flavor list from Baskin-Robbins back in a 1971 ad.  For a more recent take on their flavors, visit their website at https://www.baskinrobbins.com/en.  Just know that the online menu of flavors may or may not match the flavors at your local store. We recently did a taste test and thought that Baskin-Robbins has some of the best mint chocolate chip ice cream around.  It was much better than any of the 1/2 dozen or so brands we bought from the store-some of which were more expensive than Baskin-Robbins!

Throwback Thursday #99 : Organization Solicitation

Many organizations rely on fundraising and pledges and contributions and the like to build, maintain, and operate functions.  I just never realized how expensive it was to operate even back in 1969.  I had forgotten too how women went by their husband's name with Mrs. added to it.  Now most organizations list the individual's name and there is no Mr, Mrs, Ms or title added.

Throw Back Thursday #18 : Dogs, Animal Control, Salt Lake City History, 1961

 Here are parts of an old brochure on being a good dog neighbor.  It was published for Salt Lake City Animal Control as a public service by the Ralston Purina Co.  It does have a copyright on the brochure for 1961  and I would guess it's accurate based on this online comparison: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog/101633401.  It fits the criteria and is 9 pages in length in its entirety.
