Franky & Weeny....


Please click twice on this to see it full size. Trust me, it's worth it.

Woman's Day 1950, ad for skinless frankfurters. OK, but "Franky & Weeny"? "The Tender Family"?  I just don't know where to start.

What's the difference between a frankfurter & a wiener?

(No, this isn't a pun!) :-)

Manufactured by the same company that makes Visqueen? WHAT.
