If you like the sound of hot sausage on a cold winter morning, then you've come to the right place! And if it's served up by one of Satan's sexier horned minions --even better! *wink! This was an awesome find over the weekend, the empty glass jar with original lid, and the vintage label still applied and in overall very decent condition. Cleveland Ohio based company, Tid-Bit, processed snack products for the 1960's tavern market, specifically, jerkied and vinegar pickle soaked meats according to the lo-rez vendor brochure I found online, (see the last image below.) If anyone can dig up more on Tid-Bit, or even a better resolution version of those brochure pages, please send me a link. I have to admit, that shapely devil gal looks a lot tastier than any of the Tid-Bit treats, but I'm willing to try anything, of course!

I don't know if she is the girlfriend/girl fiend of the Underwood Devil or Hot Stuff from Harvey comics, maybe she is seeing both of them in an eternal infernal triangle.
Maybe it is Devilina in her younger days making scratch to prove to her dad, Ol' Scratch, she didn't need to rely on the old man's money.
"Packed in flavored vinegar pickle." Yeah, no thanks, hot lady devil or not I'm not eating anything packed in flavored vinegar pickle!
Again: Good use of limited colors on the printing. I like the bubbles; I assume to me read hot lava but it looks like she's getting ready for a bubble bath! I also like that the horns are part of a hat; she's not a real devil just somebody dressed as a devil. I suspect it's lifted from one of the many dancing devils in movies.
Four kinds of salt! That's gotta taste great!
Love the mascot. I especially like they way they've drawn her right hand on the back of that trident. She looks lore like a majorette than some kind of torturer. I hope you do dig up some higher resolution images of the other Tid-Bit products. The beef jerky mascot looks like she might be more mod.
I searched the web, Google and Bing, but found very little concerning the company and nothing about the mischievous maid of a mascot.
This is truly ephemera, lost media in print form. Unlike the hot tamale of a mascot, the trail concerning Tid-Bit is ice cold. Hopefully someone else out there on the net, especially in the Cleveland area, knows something or has something concerning Tid-Bit and/or its mascot.
Appreciate you looking though JMR —thanks!
