Do You Still Use "Golden Age" Products?

[Bill Taylor]

I was rather surprised not to see Ritz Crackers among the products of the Golden Era still used by Fedora Lounge members. Introduced somewhere about 1930 I think and basically packaging is still the same today. We always have a box or two around. It's better with soup than saltines, and with peanut button on it....well, it can't be beat.

Even better, how about Uneeda Biscuits -- the first-ever packaged cracker, and still the best, especially when you've got a stomach that needs to be settled. And they're awfully good with cheese.

Hello, in England and America you can be proud of your products.

But in Germany we´re not proud to use Bayer products, because
they (I. G. Farben) sponsored Hitler and took slave labourer from
him (in the "golden age"). It´s not forgotten

Nor should it be.

Well stated, Sir. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

I don't think anyone mentioned Jell-o. J-E-L-L-O as any Jack Benny fan would know.

RondoHatton, yes "Darlie" toothpaste used to have a different name way back when.
I still eat Quaker Oats for breakfast. Remember when it had curved edges and flat bottom with the label had a verical seam istead of the new indented bottom and winding label?

How about Tootsie Rolls? I was eating one recently and remembered that the wrapper used to be folded flat against the ends. I used to have to get a fingernail under it to open one.

Sincerely,
The Wolf

How old is Old Spice, anyway?

 

[skbellis]

old spice age...

According to the infamous Wikipedia:

The first Old Spice product, a fragrance called Early American Old Spice for women, was introduced in 1937, closely followed by Old Spice for men in 1938. The Old Spice products were manufactured by the Shulton Company that was founded in 1934 by William Lightfoot Schultz.

I beleieve that its first incarnation was as a talc in 1935. Here is a link to an intersting history of its bottle:

Thanks, Scott. So I qualify for this list... I believe the common expression is [voice=Ben Stein]"woo hoo"[/voice]--did I get that right? lol

The Wolf mentioned Jell-o. J-E-L-L-O. I recently read a little blurb on Jell-o and as I recall, it was introduced in or about 1904 in four flavors and didn't sell well. They worked on it some and before about 1910 it really took off. They introduced Lime Jell-o in 1930 and there should have been a law against that. I "hate" lime jell-o.

Amazingly enough, that list skipped the Los Angeles Area Glass Bottler.

Broguiere's Farm Fresh Dairy in Montebello, CA

Their glass bottles are available in places like Whole Foods Markets etc...and also from the dairy themselves..and yes...there is a deposit to get back when you return bottles.

And they make the -best- egg nog in a bottle that exists.....mmmmm

I love egg nog, why did you have to mention it? Now I'm wanting some!

 

[SamMarlowPI]

thank you Miss Brill, the hat goes in my mouth now right? lol thanks for the list, can't wait...wonder if any of these companies would deliver to my little town in Oregon...hmmm

 

[SamMarlowPI]

i use brylcreem and felsnaptha too...good stuff...

 

[kpreed]

I try to use"Golden Age" products, but the best first aid type stuff I think is a bit older. I found Bag Balm works good for me and was made first in 1899.

Actually, if you have a dog, use it on the pads of their paws,...my vet told us to do it as it helps keep them feeling good for the dog and also helps them with the cracking you often see on dog's paws,..this way nothing can get in their and cause infection...

Jello really took off during the Depression because it was such an inexpensive dessert. They also were popular because they did a lot of cookbook giveaways at the supermarket during this time. I have quite a few Depression-era Jello cookbooks. I collect them because some of the recipes are so gross and the pictures (especially the colors of the dishes) are wonderfully gross as well. Salmon and pimentos in jello anyone? Chilled tongue aspic?

When I was a child, I consumed far more St Josephs childrens aspirin (1922) tablets than I should have.

But they tasted like little orange candies.

I have Vitalis.

They changed their formula or something, because it just doesn't smell quite like it did when I was younger. (yes, I still take a whiff now and then at the grocery store)

I bought a couple dozen bars of Lifebuoy Soap recently.
