Description
Full color 7 3/4″ x 13″ ad for their Post Toasties Corn Flakes. The ad has a picture of a breakfast table with matching dishes and a bowl filled with this delicious cereal topped off with sliced peaches. The headline claims that “If you like Golden Corn…you’ll love these Flakes!” and has an ear of corn with butter melting on it to distract you from the way the cereal will really taste. The claim is made that “They’re Simply Scrumptious!” and you are urged to “Snow ’em with crystal sugar” and “Drench ’em with luscious cream” to take away any aspect of a healthy meal. There is a picture of a man playing baseball who has just hit the ball and is starting to run and the phrase next to it says “Break fast with Post Toasties“ and claims they are “Packed with Golden Energy – for goodness’ Sake“ but that might be the layers of sugar you were encouraged to put on.
