Description

Jell-O Ad June 1955Full color 10″ x 14″ ad that tells us that even the young can make a Jell-O dessert. There is a six-frame series of photos of an eight year old (or thereabouts) daughter helping her five year old brother making one of their Four Instant Puddings for dessert. The four flavors are Vanilla, Chocolate, Butterscotch and Coconut Cream. I don’t know who decided on that last one. The first picture shows them working and the ad says Okay, here goes the milk…”. In the second picture the little girl is pouring something in and the headline identifies it by saying And there goes the “Jell-O Instant Pudding”. In the third picture the boy is using the hand mixer to mix it up while the girl bends over to watch. The headline tells us “Look, It’s almost done already. In the fourth photo the boy is watching the girl pouring the contents of the bowl into four smaller bowls and the ad says “Oh Boy, four big dishes full”. In the fifth photo the two children are standing there eating their concoction and the headline says “Tastes swell doesn’t it? Let’s make it every day!” The sixth and final photo is of the box of material with the headline “You can make it and serve it at the very last minute”.
