Food Propaganda Posters: From War-Time Rations to Post-War Indulgences 🍔🥩🥧

Food propaganda posters of World Wars I and II rallied the public around wartime efforts, such as home gardening and rationing. But did they shape our post-war diets? Let's explore.

Garden-to-Freezer Revolution 🍡

Victory Gardens, immortalized in posters like these, epitomized wartime self-sufficiency. The advent of post-war technology led to a surge in frozen foods, replacing these gardens with ads for TV dinners.

Meat-Centered Diet 🥩🍖

Wartime posters urged citizens to explore meat alternatives. Post-war advances in farming made meat more accessible and led to a meat-centered diet.

Tin Culture 🍱

Canning, vital during the wars for preserving homegrown produce, transformed into a culture of pre-packaged canned foods.

Sugar Surge 🍨🍭🍬

Rationing sugar was a wartime staple, but in the 1950s, sugary foods and drinks exploded onto the scene, illustrated by soda pop advertisements.

While food propaganda posters influenced wartime diets, the post-war era saw a drastic shift towards convenience and indulgence, as mirrored in the advertising of the time.

Can we see the Brainstorm cake? ovO

cakestorm

we didn't have a knife so we tried using satay sticks (thin wooden sticks pretty much) to slice him up

LENGTHWAYS!

but the cake was really thick so we ended up using cups

so that was the fate of cakestorm (cookies and cream flavoured). he was very yummy. and yes that is perceptor at the side.

A rare poster for an equally rare McDonald's promotion: the 1985 MLP / Transformers toys.

They were only available in St. Louis, where McDonald's tested the notion of having separate girl-oriented / boy-oriented Happy Meal toys for the first time!

okay, so, I thought of something.

So a pre-truce AU. The bad sanses do bad and the stars fight them blah blah blah-

But also, they have lives outside of that lol

So, one time a person spots nightmare at the grocery store, and calls the stars

And Dream shows up, "Whats wrong!?" And hes all panicked, sees Nightmare, shopping, and turns to the person and he's like "Wtf? Let the man shop"

The person is like "HES WANTED IN EVERY AU-"

And dream just like, rolls his eyes, apologized to nm, and leaves. And Nightmare brings home those ice cream sandwiches he wanted cross to try-

Asjlfdhfjhsvf LET THE MAN SHOP IN PEACE HE HAS 4 KIDS TO FEED

This is so funny, he can't send the boys because they cannot stick to a shopping list so he has to do it himself and he hates it. He's just standing in the frozen aisle looking for the potato smiley faces that they all like when he hears a very panicked and not very hushed phone call taking place. And he just sighs because it's every time. By the time Dream arrives he's in the cereal aisle and Dream just kinda sidles up next to him awkwardly and tries to make conversation.

"So... it's happened again, hm?" "It always does." "...There's an offer on taco shells, Ink told me Cross likes those" "We don't have to do this."

Dream is wondering if he needs to have some kind of PSA on when it's appropriate to call them. Not only because it's still awkward seeing his brother in normal circumstances pre-truce, but also Blue was showing him a videos game :c

Also I'm just picturing people seeing him at Ccino's and asking all amazed like "how did you get Nightmare to agree to behave and not start anything??" and Ccino's like "I don't think I ever told him, he just shows up and reads in the corner and leaves. Sometimes he brings his kids"
