6 Comments on Pancake Tuesday: The Vintage Advertising

  1. Yes, I can remember my Mother made a big deal about this, sometimes even at the cottage at Woodhouse Acres in Port Dover, alas I switched from real maple syrup to Mrs. Butterworths. Anybody want to talk about Pt. Dover back in the 50’s and 60’s? you know where to find me.

  2. Yup, I had my pancakes and maple syrup on Tuesday.

    But hey, the ad I liked best here was Pancakes and Spam. I have fond memories of Spam in my pre-vegetarian days.
