This delightful animated advert from the 1960s, drawn in a contemporary graphic style tracks up a huge table, festooned with stylised foods, to a small girl looking prim at the head of the table. She spreads her favourite Seniors Pastes on slices of cartoon bread and butter while annoucing that she could 'go on like this forever.' The packshot reveals the cost of a pot of Seniors Paste is sixpence - the equivalent of 2½ pence in decimal currency.
