What we’ve been up to (or, what we’re saying we’ve been up to).
…with DHARMA Initiative Disinfectant Spray. Just because Lost is on hiatus until 2010 there’s no reason to slack off on maintenance and cleaning of your local DHARMA Initiative station. At The Hut we’re running low on some DHARMA Initiative cleaning supplies, but fortunately we still have an ample supply of DI Disinfectant Spray. It’s great [...]
…make Lost lemonade. Even though Lost is on summer (and fall, and part of winter) break, DHARMA Initiative materiel keeps coming. It’s probably because the last time I entered 2-4 in the computer for a supply drop, it seemed like it wasn’t going through, so I kept entering it. This week’s drop included, for the [...]
The Season 5 finale for Lost airs tonight (*sob* *choke*) and it seems kind of fitting that we found this ad for DHARMA Initiative Travel in a mid-1970s Oceanic Airlines INflight magazine. As usual, you can view the ad at maxpixpix on Flickr. Holy Hannah, Season 6 doesn’t start until February 2010!?! I, uh, guess [...]
People in the U.S.—and, to a lesser extent, in Mexico—are celebrating Cinco de Mayo today, but if you’d like to extend (or delay) your celabración to Lost Wednesday, why not break out a few DHARMA Initiative food and drink items? If you’re short on DHARMA Initiative supplies of tequila, beer, green chiles, olives, and refried [...]
As mentioned in our last post, the DHARMA Initiative version of SPAM (DI Spiced Pork and Ham) made its appearance in Ben’s fridge back in 2004. But while clearing out some boxes from the storage room (a.k.a. the garage), I came across a 1973 magazine ad for DHARMA Initiative Spiced Pork and Ham. (You can [...]
Although we’ve seen Hawaii-favorite SPAM® (recast as DHARMA Initiative Spiced Pork and Ham) in Ben’s refrigerator, we haven’t yet seen SPAM’s lesser cousin and island favorite runner-up: (Canned) Corned Beef. While it’s been described as “a little bit above dog food,” corned beef is a South Pacific staple, and as a long-shelf-life source of protein, [...]
Andy Warhol’s first one-artist gallery exhibition consisted of his series of Campbell’s Soup Cans canvases. Debuting in 1962, the art world hated them. Later, Warhol would become world-famous and the Soup Cans images would come to symbolize the pop art movement. Less well-known, perhaps completely unknown, was a work purportedly commissioned by the Hanso Foundation [...]
Just a few weeks ago we talked about baking up a delicious DHARMA Initiative cake (using DI Cake Mix, natch’). This week we found a 1972 ad for DHARMA Initiative Cake Mix in a fairly well-preserved copy of Social Welfare and Neuroscience. I’ve added this ad and the two others we previously found to the [...]
Similar to last week’s DHARMA Initiative Instant Coffee ad, we have a page from a 1970 Meteorology and Zoology Edge hawking DI Oats. This one even features a recipe for oatmeal toffee cookies! For those that missed them before, these six seven (!) vintage DI products ads that popped up on Flickr a couple of [...]
Last week a set of six DHARMA Initiative magazine ads from the ’70s popped up in a Flickr photo set posted by Hot Meteor Design. The vintage ads cover a range of DHARMA products (cigarettes, vans, uniforms, seasick pills) and technologies (computers, observational system) that, despite being pretty worn-out, give us a glimpse of the [...]
