Use Fat-Ten-U Food to GET PLUMP!

Monday, May 21st, 2007

Oh. My. God. This is an actual poster for an actual weight-gain product from the 1890s.

Why suffer horrible tortures with inferior mechanical devices that artificially fatten? Don’t look like the poor unfortunate on the left above, who, shorn of her artificial inflationary devices & pads, must, in the confines of her bedroom, through shame, try to cover her poor thin figure from the gaze of her beloved spouse… when it is possible within weeks of taking these Patented Foods to walk gaily and confidently through your bed chambers, conscious of YOUR PERFECTION of FORM!

Oh. My. God. I want one. :mrgreen:

  1. Sounds like an amazing product. No doubt advertised right next to tape worms.

  2. So, you’re hankering after the poster? Or after those special patented foods? I’m holding out for the “artificial inflationary devices and pads.” I’ve just been walking too gaily and confidently through my bed chambers, overwhelmed with my perfection of form. It’s becoming a bit of a problem.

    Great blog you have here–I keep hearing about it. Well, twice in one day. But I don’t get around much, so that’s a lot.

    The poster. I don’t need any special patented foods to get plump, unfortunately. :razz:

    Thanks to both of you for stopping by. :)
