Ketchup no 2
I couldn't find a stamp with ketchup, but I found this Del Monte ketchup ad from 1953 instead. Maybe typical of the times, but today this ad would never be used... I have a horrible time opening jars and bottles with my hands, but I find this ad funny and offensive at the same time. These days there should be an ad of those blister packs of pills and the text should say: "You mean a human could open this?"

I am crasy over all things I have to open. Medicin, things in plasticboxes and piclesglas and so on. My fingers were strong earlier, they are weak now.
I know, there should be easy-open, child-proof things. The Prilosec pill packages are horrible!
That is probably the most sexist thing I have ever seen
Yes, very sexist. It would not go over well today in a magazine, people would be very upset.
I´m thinking we can use this approach toward the rubber thingy that encloses the lights on our car. After a looong time and some swear words I went too the car shop and asked how to get it off! That was after my second try, JH had one in between my two.
" So you mean a woman can open it?!"
He took a screwdriver and forced loose it by the way! We hadn´t tried that.
Ah, you mean the rubber thing you have to remove to change the light bulb? Ha, I saw the mechanics swear over that one on my car when they had to change the bulb. I couldn't do it. Woman proof, maybe? Just another thing that is hard to open and of bad design.
Yep, that´s the one LS. I had to change, I tried to ignoring it but the problem didn´t go away, so I had to change the bulbs on both sides. Actually I think it´s made for women hands only, it was a tight fit. But now, after changning I will happily sell the car. There are much worse thing with that car than missing lights,like rusty breaks and so, but the police wont see those problems... or the buyer...
