A vintage springtime ad for stone fruit: Do I dare to eat a peach?
Posted in: Uncategorized
Do you smell that? Crack open a window, inhale deeply. Once your eyes stop leaking and the pollen-induced sneezing dies down, you can bask in the knowledge that spring is in the air. But wait, what’s that other smell? The smell beneath the smell of spring? That’s right, it’s peaches! Not just any peaches! Cling peaches, delicately arranged in yellow half-moon shapes, nestled between slices of ham? And avocado. And, uh, is that cheese? On a bed of lettuce.
Mmmm, tastes like rebirth.
This ad, which could be featured in the “’70s Dinner Party” pantheon of horrifying Instagram pics, is brought to you by the Cling Peach Advisory Board. Cling peaches are different from their freestone sisters in that the pit is not easily removed. It clings to the meat of the fruit. (What a fun sentence that was!) They’re mostly used in canning. Also, “cling” rhymes with “spring,” and that’s pretty neat.
