Food related? You be the judge! Vintage Twisted Food Porn.

Isn't it amazing how horrible food styling from the

early-mid 20th Century looks to us moderns here in the 21st century? LOL

However, I do believe a lot had to with the typographical process used in those days that made things look so much like laboratory experiments gone very wrong.

But then, they did eat some really weird stuff in those days. LOL

 
This phrase (which I learned here) got me into trouble recently.

I was a chaperone at a high school German competition. We stayed in a hotel with plate glass windows giving onto the corridor. As I was returning to my room one evening, I found DD and 2 other girls standing inside their window, eating from tubs of ice-cream v-e-r-y slowly, looking tauntingly at the icecreamless boys gathered outside their window. As I walked past, my mouth opened all by itself and the words 'Food porn' popped out. Of course, the kids had never heard this term, and they were shocked and horrified. The girls didn't hear me, but the storm I released from the boys and adults outside drew them out of their room to find out. I just dived into my room and hid until everyone had gone.

I blamed it all on you guys, of course. In retrospect I find it funny (I love puns), but at the time I was mortified (and so was DD). Me and my big mouth.

 
When I worked in a pharmacy when I about seventeen I used to walk down

to Swenson's and get a chocolate-dipped frozen banana. I'd take it back to work and sit behind the counter with the pharmacist and eat it. He swore I did it to torment him.

 
LOL Melissa, like those twirly snow cones round a choc flake with a cherry on the top....

I was about 17 when these became a fad......I loved slowly licking all the icecream away to (hopefully) leave just the cherry balancing on the top of the flakey...my (boyfriend then) husband told me years later the sight was almost more than he could bare...I get red-cheeked thinking about this these days.
