That's right, shopper's at high-end (and now defunct) San Francisco Department Store I. Magnin and Co. could, if they were unhappy with the way the garments were fitting, buy a pack of these diet pills. According to the trademark registration, Gelatin Slims were produced by the Gelatin Plus Corporation of Santa Monica.
Does anyone else think of Cathy cartoons when they see this?
