Advertisement, "His One Weakness, Toll House Cookies from Home" November 1943
Add to SetSummary
Nestle placed this "patriotic call" advertisement in Better Homes & Gardens magazine during World War II--a way to send a bit of "home" to soldiers overseas while proudly meeting the challenge of rationed ingredients. For many soldiers, it was their first taste of a chocolate chip cookie. Ruth Wakefield had created the recipe for her Toll House Inn restaurant just a few years before.
