For this, the arguments and topics employed in the advertisements of those decades will be discussed. The compilation of the food advertisements published specifically in El Colombiano Journal and Cromos Magazine allowed building the information base to analyze the way in which the food industry promoted the new food offer.

Another argument used in this research was the claim of comfort or assistance; in that the quickness and easiness to prepare the food were important for the housewives.
