Starling Fitness: Daily writings on Fitness, Diet, and Health

I was reading Found in Mom’s Basement and found this old advertisement from Post Cereal.

It reads:

“Any protein cereal helps keep you the right size… as long as it’s Post Grape-Nuts”

Thirty per cent more protein in every spoonful – more than any other cereal. That flavor really shapes up, too – so different, nut-like. Yes, for protein, energy and flavor… make your cereal Post Grape-Nuts!

All Post cereals happen to be just a little bit better.

My heart just aches for the “fat” woman on the left. Let’s just call her Miss Blue Coat. That look on her face gives me pause. It makes me think that the folks at Post didn’t quite realize what was going on.

She appears to be contemplating the situation. Her “friend” is such an attention whore that she doesn’t even notice the perilous situation she is in. I’d love to see the rest of this movie, complete with the revenge scene where Little Miss Size 10 is horrified when she loses her rich boyfriend to the new svelte figure of Miss Blue Coat.

I feel as if the copy on this advertisement should read: “When I get skinny, you’ll pay…” So I fixed it.

I’d pay to see that movie…
