«The Story of the Super Tomato and its Happy Ending in Snider's Super Catsup»
A vintage advertises a variety of canned and jarred goods made from "super tomatoes". The ad claims they use real home-cooking care and the tomatoes are judged perfect for flavor, color, ripeness and size. The Story of the Super Tomato and its Happy Ending in Snider's Super Catsup Once upon a time Grandma Snider said, "Now if I just had the right kind of tomato, I could make a real country-style catsup that folks'd never stop talking about. One that would be different from ordinary store-bought catsups...smooth as silk, and spiced just so, and chock-full of flavor." So Farmer Snider made up his mind then and there to grow Super Tomatoes so Grandma Snider could make her Super Catsup! He fussed with different types of seeds...selected special strains...started 'em in special greenhouses...until, one day, lo and behold-there was the Super Tomato! In fact a whole row of them, big and ripe and full of sunripe flavor. Quick as a flash, Grandma got out her old country-kitchen cookbook, and her best kettle, and her finest spices, and set to work. When she was through she sure had a catsup folks never stopped talking about, from that day to this. Not too sweet! Not too tart! Just right! It had a tasty, tangy flavor all its own-and first thing you know, Snider's Catsup was famous! Ever since, only Super Tomatoes go into Snider's Catsup, and although it long ago outgrew Grandma's kettle, it's still made with real home-cookin' care. So, if you want country-style flavor, ask for Snider's! Of course, lots of Snider's Catsup's gone to war, but when you do get a bottle, you get just about the best there is! It tastes like home! Besides Snider's Catsup...there's a whole line of delicious Snider's vegetables and fruits in can and jar... and there's Snider's Chili Sauce, the real Old-Fashioned kind...Snider's Cocktail Sauce, so spicy and tangy....with that Special Snider Flavor If the Snider Folks put it up... it tastes like home Score: Farmer Snider's Tomatoes Flavor - ...
