1967 Nestles Quik Professional Milk Shake Flavors Better Homes Gardens Print Ad

     After a good bit of prep work, and other projects to manage, it's finally time for my first actual post here.  Since "A Page Out of Time" is going to feature ephemera, and primarily from our eBay store, I wanted to start with something really appealing.  This one caught my eye pretty "Quik."  :^)

    I'm a child of the 60's, we always had a can of Nestle's Quik in the kitchen.  I loved chocolate the best, but it clumped a lot.  It was really hard to blend into the milk.  For convenience, even though it wasn't my favorite, I usually opted for Strawberry.  For some reason, strawberry blended better.  No clumping, and the milk absorbed the flavor better.  Now that I'm older, it's got me wondering if we were supposed to make it with a blender?  We always just spooned it into the milk, and stirred it with the spoon.  

    Seeing this old ad now, I'm also wondering why I never heard of the Chocolate Malted flavor?  Chocolate and Strawberry were practically permanently available.  Never tried vanilla, it seemed kind of redundant to add vanilla Quik to milk.  But Chocolate Malted?  That would have been popular.  Now I wish I'd tried it.  I would have been 7 years old when this ad was published.  That time, at that age, was exactly where my memories came from.  Seems odd that I never even knew about it.

    Anyway, this being my first legitimate post, I've included the full listing description here, including things that would become repetitive if I included them every time.  Also, the image has a link to the eBay listing.  Not sure if that's a good idea or not.  The link will only work as long as the eBay listing is live.  Once something's sold, I don't know if it'll become a dead link, or still connect to my store.  Guess we'll find out when it happens.  For now, if you click the image it'll go to this particular listing.  

    This is still a learning process for me.  Over time I hope to refine these posts.  We'll see how it goes.
