For one of my first posts on my new instance, here’s the first image I ever posted on the previous server that I was sure 💯 sure required a warning. It’s a picture of a weird food ad from the 1950s. Fair warning, it involves green jello and olives 😬
@Katma That just… WHY?! 🤢🤢🤢
@Freedstyles
And then to use it in an ad! Like it would be an enticement to buy the stuff. Boggles the mind
@Katma OMG Jello with olives, lettuce, and tomatoes is a pretty heinous combo 🤢 All it needs are maraschino cherries adorning the top 😂
@So_lets_kiLab
I’m concerned that the yellow stuff may be American cheese. Originally thought yellow pepper, but…
@Katma Love these kind of things, its fun to see what weird combos people come up with
@taur10
I actually love this crazy green olive jello nuttiness too. It’s sort of a twisted, pseudo-food Mona Lisa. I always see something different. Is it actually looking back at us with its olive eyes and tomato slice mouth? Is that a tomato smile or is it planning to eat us? What might a jello mold be thinking?
@Katma A friend over on Twitter has a habit of posting vintage ads with horrific food ideas, I can't believe what they thought was good back then. Another fun source is Dylan Thomas over on YouTube, I've shared a few of his videos, but he likes to collect old cookbooks, particularly promotional ones, and he makes quick recipes from them, and his antics are a riot. So's his reaction to some of the less than successful recipes.
@taur10
Oh, I will definitely check that out! I love stuff like that
@Katma @So_lets_kiLab 🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮 Ewwww!
@Katma Looks good... ☺️😄
@Katma I would require payment to eat a serving of that.
@Katma [checks notes] Now is NOT the time for Jell-o Salads. 🙂
@Katma I know myself well enough to realize that there is a very specific level of vodka/rum drunk that would turn this into mana of the gods.
@Katma The warning didn't help! I can never unhear this! Jello Salads... #BadTaste And Jello's texture, I just cannot!
@Katma Did anyone ever actually eat these?
@Katma wtf? Now I have to try it.
@caprica1980
I like your style. Please report back
@Katma RESOLVED: I’m a gonna slather slices of my forlorn holiday gifted fruitcake with butter and eat-the-freak out of it this week!
@Nyonitz
Enjoy?
@Katma 100%, compared to imaging eating that green-awful ‘foodstuff.’

@Katma

Thanks for digging up THAT particular childhood trauma. LOL!

@Katma the olives make it gross AND creepy!
@Katma It was a different and strange time...
@Katma
I should've heeded the warning. 🤢 😂
@rchopgood
Sorry. At least you have the weekend to shake it off
