LOL! Does this remind anybody else of “I Love Lucy’s” “Vegameatavitamin?”

Chicken and bologna, I can understand. Maybe even chili. But, really, what flavor is ‘plain’? That’s too scary to contemplate.

If the current meat replacement stuff used by vegetarians is any indication, it did not taste good at all.

60 cents a pound? That’s over ten times the price of ground beef in 1922.

Heck, today ground beef is only 79 cents a pound (Canadian, at that) where I shop.

On the one hand it says ‘delicious’ but then it says “1lb can sufficient for 8 portions”…

“Gee hon’ that was really great but those two ounces are REALLY filling, I couldn’t eat another mouthful, really…”

Of course, how silly of me. I wonder if it cures Catarrh like everything else in the 20′s did. I love the word catarrh it looks like it needs another vowel. Either that or it w was invented by a pirate.

> I wonder what this tasted likeâ€¦

Meat, of course. Why would an ad from 1922 lie?
