Vintage Coffee Ads from the 1950's ♥

Good Monday Moring my dear friends! ♥

How was your weekend? We had another rainy one (I think that makes 3 in row) so I'm especially happy to see some spring sunshine today.  The upside to all this rain is my neighborhood is full of blooming forsythias and that tells me spring is definitely here.  We attended a beautiful Palm Sunday mass yesterday and then it was home to drink hot coffee and park it on the couch for the afternoon.  I usually like to do things around the house on Sundays but sometimes my body says "nope, not today!" and that's okay too.  

While relaxing, I had some fun going down a Pinterest rabbit hole.  Don't you just LOVE Pinterest?  Truly, anything I'm looking for is there! It's amazing.  

It's like a little magical space ♥

Anyway, I love vintage ads from the 1950's. I found some fun coffee ones that I'd like to share with you today.  Looking at these you can clearly see how times have changed.  They all made me laugh and I feel so deeply in my soul that I was born in the wrong era! 

For example:

"This new coffee flavor makes early morning angels. It turns BEARS into DEARS... It's a wonderful spirit-lifting success"

Sadly, advertising is not like this anymore, however I have never heard anything so relatable in my entire life.  

See what I mean? Me. Wrong era. 

"Don't blame the coffee pot!"

Don't blame the coffee pot Lorraine...it's your coffee, it's terrible.  Time to switch brands! 

(**but your robe is fabulous!**)

 

"Guests will sing its praises, your family will want it for their regular every-meal coffee" 

I want guests to sing praises for my coffee!  The last line reads 

"Economical too - costs you only about 1 cent a cup!" 

Wow.

"Good things happen over coffee.." 

"There's no fence in town refreshing coffee can't tear down"

That's the power of iced coffee for ya.  I've always thought so. 

This all-American family planned baby's 1st birthday over after dinner coffee and now their dreams have come true.  All thanks to the coffee.  Awe....how sweet. 

"Give yourself a coffee-break!"

I believe in coffee breaks.  Sadly, this is not what it looks like in my office.  

This one really told a story:

The bended knee may be out of date

And the high laced shoes may be done of late

But the boy and the girl and the coffee stay

As when Pop found Mom just yesterday.

For coffee is always on the scene...

Lending its warmth to each couple's dream

And over some coffee how often do

The dreams of the warmest hearts come true!

Pure poetry!  

So, did mom and dad get engaged one day after their first meeting? That seems a bit racy for back in the day.  

Apparently good things really do happen over coffee! 

But not for poor little Johnny.  Dad cut the football game short because mom made pot of coffee.  He's literally sprinting in the house.  Better luck next time Johnny.  

Did they offer him some or is that hot chocolate in his cup? 

This may be my most favorite of all. 

"Husband Pleasing Coffee"

"Get a good man.  Get him good coffee."

Hmmm...I must switch to this brand!  LOL 

"Mmm! Nothing smells as good as coffee!"

"What a break for Jim.  A delicious cup or two of fragrant, steaming coffee and he'll tackle mid-year cramming like nobody's business.  Ah, the aroma...filling the room and making Jim's mouth water!"

Let's be real here.  Jim is full of caffeine and will be up for days!  Mid-terms? Not a problem if mom keeps the coffee brewing! It's not the smell that's keeping him going! 

 

"Give yourself a coffee-stop - stay alert and stay alive!" 

Nowadays we drive up to the window but back then they brought the coffee right to you.  They better be planning on staying awhile.  I don't think to-go cups were invented yet! 

But how lovely does this scene look?  I'm swooning ♥

All this coffee talk and now I want one.  I'm afraid I'm a bit underdressed so I think I may need to put on my pearls first.  I hope these ads made you smile today!

Have a wonderful Monday friends! ♥

I'll be around to visit your blogs after my second cup! 

Byeee! xxoo ☕
