    I like the advertisement’s concept, plus considering it was from 1960, it’s also pretty good. :P

    Heh, sorry to disappoint, but I did indeed find it at Boing Boing like I said. Just follow the link (actually, the comments there are pretty interesting).

    Ann and Kym, do you think it looks more 1970 than 1960? Either way, it’s remarkable how rice had to be marketed in Western countries back then, considering how much of a staple it is now.

    The woman’s hair and eyelashes are definitely all 60’s. The text seems almost 50’s.
