While the general consensus for Thanksgiving food consists of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce, how each item is prepared can differ wildly from cook to cook. According to these vintage ads, midcentury America was full of creative holiday dinner ideas!

Forget canned cranberries, try candle cranberries (if that sounds strange, don't worry, it's all held together with mayonnaise). Why not warm up that cold Dr. Pepper? You can prepare everything easily in your brand-new microwave oven!

Try to guess if these vintage ads are from the 1950s, '60s, '70s or '80s!

"You got 6 out of 13" ------No matter how many you got right, you can use these ads for inspiration for your own Thanksgiving food and outfits! ---I got 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, & 13 right.
