Heinz Soups

Heinz Tomato Soup:

This ad speaks volumes to the culinary historian – it says a lot about portion sizes, cost, and everyday expectations in 1948. It seems curious to us that people enjoyed ‘Heinz India Relish’, ‘Jellied Tongue’, and ‘Open Faced Sardine Egg Sandwiches’. For some reason Shelf Life is touched by the thought of someone eating carrot and peanut butter sandwiches – with a side order of watercress – for their Late Supper Snack.
