Kellogg's Krumbles is the subject of this advertisement, and its headline promises a dish that is "a winner for wartime," a pitch aimed at households juggling shortages and ration books. Advertisers of the Second World War era often presented breakfast cereal as a quick, inexpensive, nourishing choice that fit the austerity of home life. Ads like this one show how packaged food was sold as both practical and patriotic. Look closely at the wording and layout to see how the company tried to link its product to the national effort on the home front.
