Man, those packages take you back, don't they? Where's the sense of whimsy in modern packaging? Where are the great new mascot characters with enough legs to hang around a generation or two? The Danish Swirls box is a particularly neat treat; the Doughboy isn't even looking out at "us!"
Amazing stuff as usual. Dan, do you have the '67 version of the Pillsbury Brownie box? Very psychedelic. It's the one Peter Sellers gets turned on with in the film "I Love You Alice B. Toklas"
