Barbecued Chicken Legs—A crisp, sizzling drumstick in one

Dunking Salad—Dip and devour! Have a crisp array of carrot,
celery and cucumber sticks, Chinese cabbage, endive and other
raw vegetable favorites. For “dunks”—mayonnaise spiked with
dill or chives, cream cheese whipped with bleu. Set off your salad
with the sparkle of Coca-Cola.
Beans-In-Bun— Good eating—man-sized! Split and toast buns.
Stow a hearty bean filling inside—baked beans with relish, or
kidney beans, chili-style. Be ready with lots of ice-cold Coca-Cola.
It’s a real great “good-times” drink! For meals, picnics, parties—
keep plenty of Coca-Cola on hand!

Bible is not the ‘golden age’ that

thinking but a time of darkness
