Advert Lucky Dip: From Australia, Feb 1963: Salted Cashews ad from Planters (more at @OldInPrintAds.bsky.social)

(+Peanuts; Brazils; Pretzels; Cheezpop; Bac'npop; Chicpop; and Slim Jane Mini-Pretzels)

«WHAT'S GOOD TO EAT IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME»
A vintage advertisement promoting a variety of snacks, including cashews, peanuts, pretzels, and flavored popcorn. It focuses on the quality and appeal of these snacks for parties and everyday enjoyment during the summertime. The advertisement emphasizes taste, freshness, and variety. WHAT'S GOOD TO EAT IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME PRETZELS POPS AND PLANTERS They're crisp, crackling, abundantly salty... blessed with a zest to whet a nibbler's whistle. Australia discovers the pretzel! For a decade Americans have nibbled these crisp sticks with their drinks. Now Planters pretzels are being snapped up here. You nibble them neat. Or stab them into cheese cubes, or onions, or gherkins. Their salty crispness makes a good drink perfect. They lighten it, brighten it, unlock its true tang. Your summer party gets fistfuls of fun from every pack of Planters Pops. They're crisp, crackling, light and salty: puffed up with pride over their zesty flavours. You choose rich, robust Cheezpop. Hickory fired Bac'npop or the roasted succulence of Chicpop. Or you nibble them all. Page 2 PLANTERS NUTS tastier, bigger, firmer ...so fressshhh, they whisper it as you open each can, each jar Our chef's promise: tastier, bigger, firmer nuts. To keep their promise they reject many nuts. Quality before quantity our chefs contend. For example: On occasions, when premium nuts have been in short supply, they have downed ladles -and resumed only after the plumpest nuts have become available again. We love them for it. Because nuttin' can match a Planters nut - for size or saltiness, freshness or flavour. They're golden-hearted, golden-good. The finest you've ever sunk your teeth into. And the range of Planters nuts will delight you. We tenderly prepare 19 varieties. Apart from the old faithfuls peanuts, cashews, brazils we also pack you many cooking nuts. You buy them in a variety of packs: 2 oz. cello's; 6 oz. and 1 lb. cans; lilb. and 3 lb jars. Call into your store and take your pick. Page 3
