Scarcity remains in the memory of those who lived during the World War II era. Sugar was a staple that was rationed by government proclamation from 1942 to 1947. It was a key ingredient in preserves, baked items, and favourite family dishes. Advertising of sugar during this period used messaging that reflected the societal values derived from the war effort and optimism for better times ahead.

Historian Brandi Adams will join us over Zoom for a webinar taking us back to the World War II era and exploring the parallels between mandated food rationing and messaging in sugar advertising.
