@lykopis: I think comics were viewed as more of a boy's thing back in the Seventies, but the Gold Key Comics were much more centered around cartoon characters, rather than superheroes, for the most part, so they were probably considered to have had a larger girl audience. Kenner, knowing that every kid likes toys, presented a sixteen-page insert in The Inspector with a balance of boy and girl toys. They also presented a balance of black and white faces in the ads (not well-balanced, but for the Seventies, it was a positive step).

I love this! While I am too young to recall any of these products- outside of Easy-Back Oven - it reminds me of coming across these kinds of ads in an older relative's comic stash and being freaked out over them. The classic sea-monkey family (something like that??) and of course, the infamous x-ray glasses.

Really cool - especially the target audience including young girls. I wonder if the climate back then wasn't so exclusive as it seems now?

Again, great list -- off to check out your other ones.

@kfhrfdu_89_76k: Yeah, I love these older ads, where the art actually looks like something. It's great.

I like the art. Product doesn`t interest me at all, since I can imagine how it must`ve tasted...

Thanks for stopping in! :^D
