Vintage Food Package Designs and Ads for Your Culinary Nostalgia

When I was a kid I wanted to eat something only if the commercial was cool or the package had at least one hero on it, or an image related to an action movie or a cartoon. If the box contained the Cartoon Network or Star Wars logo, then it didn’t matter what was inside. 

In this article you can see a collection of some retro food packages and advertisements starting from 1945 and all the way to the 1990s. Do you remember what was your favorite food, sweet or drink in your childhood?
