Chamborama
Nothing like indoctrinating kids at play to prefer your product.The cartoon Mom is plainly soused.
Source, with more pics.
This “Jeu de Familles” from the 1960s promotes Chambord glassware. The object of the game is to complete family sets of the same item (wine glasses, small dishes, larger dishes, sugar bowls, etc) by asking opponents for a particular card, for example: “avez-vous l'assiette à desert de Grand-Père?"
