Good-morning, kittens and dawgs! We’re more than halfway through the alphabet and coincidentally April which brings me to Nifty, Neat-O, and No-Nos with All Things Vintage!

Nifty!

That Nesbitt’s is 75+ years old and is still around. Our local Food City carries this vintage soda. I haven’t tried it yet, but I love orange soda and am anxious to touch its sweetness against my lips!

Nabisco products paraded through our lives and our cuber currently house their crackers. However, when I think of cereal I think on fond memories of eating shredded wheat at my grandparents’ house. It wasn’t sugar coated and with its coarse texture, it closely resembled eating hay. The key was to let the shredded wheat biscuits soak in milk before eating. I rarely buy it today, but when I do I it always makes me smile.

Neat-O!

I was surprised to find out that the craze for Nair hair remover of the 70s actually goes back to the 40s. Who knew, right? I love the idea of this stuff, but I can’t use it because my skin is too sensitive.

No-No!

I remember using Noxzema for a face wash as a teenager and it wasn’t until I saw this ad that I remembered using if for sunburn relief. I always got burned in the summers accidentally and on purpose. The latter is definitely a major no-no!

I saved the best for last. DH has several of Nicholson USA made files. This ad was featured in the Saturday Evening Post in 1945.

Don’t ya just love the humor in that one? lol
