Vintage Food Packaging

[Warden]

Lyle's Golden Syrup has been named as Britain's oldest brand, with its green and gold packaging having remained almost unchanged since 1885.

I know this is older than the 'golden age' but this news story got me wondering what food products have the same packaging as they did 70 (or older) years ago?

Weetbix, a staple cereal for kiwis here in New Zealand, has just brought out its original vintage packaging in celebration of its 70th anniversary:

It's great to see something this classic when you're just doing your usual grocery shopping.

Kind regards,

Thanks for the info on the website, I just love the 'heros of weekabix' like Jean Batten.

I just picked this commemorative tin up at the grocery store. The standard cardboard box fits into the tin, so we'll be able to use it indefinitely.

Kind regards,

what about the butcher? Why do they hide the butcher from the consumer these days?

Alto she has been in many incarnations, she is a constant of vintage advertising.

The look of Clabber Girl (baking powder) and Maxwell House coffee have stayed pretty much the same!

how funny, I'm making a programme about this right now! These are pretty British brands but: Marmite (same packaging since the 1920s - and I have an original jar to prove it), Perrier (same packaging since 1900s)... Euthymol toothpaste... lots of others.

Cracker Barrell

Cracker Barrell sells candies that are wrapped in vintage packaging. They have contracts with different candy companies to supply them with vintagy items. Hershey bars in the 30s style packaging and diffierent chewing gums from the 30s as well. One of my favorite places to go.

We just had one open up in my town this past monday. Still have not had a chance to go yet. I work at night and sleep during the day. I will be checking it out for lunch on Thursday though. :essen:
