A Contest

Once, when I was in college, I went to an all night diner that had menus with photos of the food only. No "Chili Cheese Dog" or "Pigs in a Blanket" written anywhere. But at 3 am, after a party, there was something kind of entertaining about pointing and saying: "I'll have one of these please, and a couple of those."

Recently, I found these huge photos at a sale on the garage floor. They are 18" square, printed on both sides and (I'm guessing) vintage 1980-ish. Not sure if they were used at a restaurant or cafeteria, but I'm drawn to them in a way I can't really explain.

Banana Split in a footed bowl.

Strawberries with ice cream and avocado. (!?)

Two tone green Jello square. On lettuce, of course.

Stuffed pineapple with a fern backdrop.

Girls...what were they used for? Chime in here. I'll pick the answer I like best and the winner will get one of them, whether she wants it or not.
