ANOTHER LOAF HOW-TO: Frosted layered sandwich loaf (1965)

Kraft makes real mayonnaise with lots of whole eggs, and extra egg yolks, too. But it takes more than eggs to make a great mayonnaise. So Kraft uses a carefully selected blend of pure vegetable oils. Then Kraft beats it in their own special way, until this mayonnaise is creamy-smooth. And its fluffy texture blends perfectly with other foods. All this makes Kraft Mayonnaise a very special real mayonnaise. Discover it now, in the handy, wide-mouth reusable jar.
