It's funny, I really enjoyed it.<BR/><BR/>My mom was born in 1960, and the stories she tells me from her childhood are always so sweet and funny. Very different to what was going on in other sides of the world though. Different worlds I guess... :-)Madihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354472920559278678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-90266390579085204282007-06-25T23:16:00.000-04:002007-06-25T23:16:00.000-04:00How did it taste ?

It worked so well at giving patients the illusion of having eaten a solid meal and killing off between-meal hunger pangs that last year Mead Johnson decided to call it Metrecal and put it out as a weight-reducing food. The chief change was to recommend a limit of 900 calories (i.e., one 8-oz. can, dry weight) of Metrecal a day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-53358281649528120262007-06-25T17:19:00.000-04:002007-06-25T17:19:00.000-04:00I laughed my way through all of your ad posts,all ...I laughed my way through all of your ad posts,all the time being extremely thankful that I wasn't even thought of in '64 :-)<BR/><BR/>Have to say if J ever thought giving me kitchen canisters was a great gift,he'd have ended up stuffed inside one!!!Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959658025489249091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-70251284595588823952007-06-25T11:24:00.000-04:002007-06-25T11:24:00.000-04:00Thank you w'ferret! :D I wonder how long Metrecal...Thank you w'ferret! :D I wonder how long Metrecal stayed on the market?

Last week many of the same mothers were buying a new Mead Johnson product, a powder called Metrecal, with an opposite aim: taking weight off themselves.<BR/><BR/>The powder, which is mixed by dieters with water or skim milk, is such a hot-selling item that it has already spawned some 40 imitations from Sears, Roebuck's Bal-Cal to Quaker Oats's Quota, just out this week. With Metrecal sales up to an annual rate of $40 million, Mead Johnson's 1960 gross is confidently expected by company officials to jump this year from $65 million to $100 million, the profits to double to $6 a share. To help keep ahead of the imitators, the company last week put on sale a canned liquid Metrecal, which is easier for paunch-conscious businessmen to keep unrefrigerated in a desk drawer for their noonday meal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-6024768627465827532007-06-24T11:17:00.000-04:002007-06-24T11:17:00.000-04:00Well Jojo, I can't help but think that those ads w...Well Jojo, I can't help but think that those ads where one is expected to look like June Cleaver, bake, and keep an immaculate house ads were directly responsible for the surge in antidepressants and mood stablizers that we all know and love today. <BR/>But I am willing to bet that the <BR/>exceeding large and scary patchwork quilt dress was to cover the fact you had eaten that whole cake....<BR/>Do you think that the textured carpet and the paisley wallpaper were some bizarre form of mind control???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-63730024708178703072007-06-24T10:31:00.000-04:002007-06-24T10:31:00.000-04:00God, you are so funny.
