Dixie Cups 1963 ad "Cleopatra" :60, from Georgia-Pacific
In 1963, Cleopatra was the very image of glamour and indulgence thanks to Elizabeth Taylor's portrayal in the Hollywood spectacular. This Dixie Cup ad from the same year suggests that the average mom might gain a little of that queenly lifestyle with a labor-saving Dixie Cup dispenser for the kitchen. Listen for the announcer slipping into a romantic Richard Burton impression at the end of the ad.
