Reminds me of the 7-Up cookbook that was linked to here a couple of years back. In fact there was a whole series of links to recipes of yesteryear. As I remember I almost got locked in the building because I couldn't stop reading them and laughing.

Have tried searching, can't find the link.
I'll repost if I do.

ETA - found the Weight Watchers ones (link by Mr Noodle, much missed)
AH! Turns out there is a link to The Gallery of Regrettable Food from the above website.
Please go look. Not only the 7-Up cookbook, but Meat! Meat! Meat! had me weeping. And probably more which I'm off to rediscover.
