Where To Watch
What kind of products did these popular 1950s brands make?
Do you know the difference between Ipana, Pi-Li and Puss 'N Boots?
We were flipping through some old magazines from the Eisenhower era. It's one of our favorite ways to pass the time. The fashions, the photos, the recipes — it's an easy portal back in time.
Of course, those midcentury magazines were also filled with advertisements. Many of them seemed to be for ketchup, for some reason. Anyway… most of the brands would be familiar to families today. Some grocery staples have stood the test of time.
But there were also dozens of brands we had totally forgotten about. Some vanished long ago. Others have simply been overshadowed over the decades.
Here are 1950 popular brands that popped up in numerous magazines of the 1950s. See if you can remember what products were attached to them! Good luck! If you can get more than 10, you are a true pop culture expert.

14/15…. I grew up in the 50’s & 60’s…. But I don’t remember a “Rust Craft” brand. Sounds more like some sort of household cleaner rather than a greeting card…
13/15.
Missed three

13/15 which is not too bad as I am nowhere near the 50s. I was amazed at how many of these I knew at once and the two I have never even heard of.
6 out of 15.
12/15, and I wasn't even born until 1959.
Worked at a family restaurant in the 80s and we put Accent (MSG) in a lot of things like sauces, gravies, and soups. I particularly remember the lobster bisque getting a heavy dose of it.
They found that msg would cause asthma attacks in susceptible people
Only 10 out of 15. But some of these are still around, like Hotpoint, Rit, Armour Treet (I sometimes see these at Big Lots), Accent, and maybe Tussy.
I got 14 out of 15. The one that got me rust craft.
Woohoo 15/15
14/15 I missed the last one!
