Given that it was presumably a milk product sold as a soda, and thus likely treated as such (left unrefrigerated, weeks in a refrigerated case) it seems like it might be a useful assurance of food safety. That ad looks like it's aimed at retailers, so "You can treat it like soda" would actually be kind of a selling point. Michigan was the first state to require pasteurizing milk in 1947 and it wasn't prohibited federally until '73, so maybe it wasn't a given at the time.

That ad looks like it's aimed at retailers, so "You can treat it like soda" would actually be kind of a selling point. The formula was probably similar to Yoo-Hoo today. Which has whey for protein, non-fat dry milk, and a whole lot of oil. The unopened bottle we have has long since separated into brown water and slightly less brown oil. Tsubasa2004 posted:The ad is ambiguous, the guy's skin tone is a brown/red halftone which is as close to a human skin tone as you're likely to get if you don't want to pay for a fourth color of ink, and I mean, they have dark brown right there. The bottles, on the other hand, would be less ambiguous when filled with dark brown soda. Okay, that looks more obvious. I hadn't found a painted label bottle example before (all our bottles are embossed).

I was thinking “It’s on the cap in the ad so it’s on the real product” but it may well be artistic licence.

It's entirely possible for the clown to not to be an explicit racial caricature while still reflecting influence from the minstrel tradition.Byzantine posted:It's the South in 1950, they didn't have to have sneaky subtle plausibly-deniable racist imagery. They totally did. Many of the old Cab Calloway cartoons depicted him as a white-faced clown as a way to erase his race while still enjoying his music. I'm not saying "therefore clowns are racist;" the point is that there's more possibilities than "obviously a caricature" and "totally, completely free of any influence from the racism that permeated the rest of society." Like, you don't have to be some kind it loony skeleton warrior bent on castigating all media ever to put things in context and realize it's not all black and white.

Platystemon posted:Was “IT’S PASTEURIZED” really a great slogan by the 1940s? Hadn’t everyone been doing that for a few decades? There were parts of America in the 40s that were still relatively primitive, lacking things like regular electricity or phone service. Some of these places would still be new markets for bottled pasteurized milk.

Now that Trump has declared asbestos-related health concerns as a mob conspiracy and his EPA no longer cares about it, we'll probably actually start seeing stuff labeled like that.

Every decade has its own distinctive appearance.

A new office building just opened in Portland, OR. It's two towers, connected by a bridge. The developers chose to name it "The Fair-Haired Dumbbell". It's a dumb blonde joke, because everybody like those! Then they decided to market the building with copy like this: What the hell is wrong with these people posted:New in Town (and down to lease) In other words, they're marketing their lovely, over-designed office space as being a dumb blonde who's looking for casual sex on Craigslist. Edit: Oh, also a dig at larger women.

It's been finished since at least last November and I don't think anyone's moved in yet. They didn't build any parking, either.

I finally looked this Fair-Haired Dumbbell building up and holy shot that is one ugly building. I'm not opposed to unusual-looking buildings. Hell, I live a block away from a building painted purple-with-rainbow-brick-accents and it's pretty great. Of course, that building is not hideous, and is also devoted to being an independent bookstore and cafe on the ground floor and a small performing art space with some small shops and offices upstairs (a specialty yarn store, small spaces that do music or art classes, the office space for a heritage site just out of town, things like that). It's a cool place to hang out, and there's an open mic in the cafe every Friday night, but it also isn't trying so hard. The entire building is devoted to art and culture, in some way. This Dumbbell place is trying to manufacture some artificial trendiness while also just being a regular commercial space, from what i can tell. I can only imagine that a lot of potential renters are going to be like "no we need to be taken seriously" and that's not a location that's going to attract your up and coming law firms or whatever. Because look at it. Cargo cult trendiness.

That is not a building, that is a 90's mock-up of a futuristic apartment complex. Made for a failed pilot; one that tried to blend the BK Kids Club, Friends, and A Different World together.
