Funny you should mention oleo. I just finished a project of putting recipes online from a church cookbook printed in 1980 that my grandmother saved and gave to me when I got married. Most of the people that submitted recipes are related to me and the book is taking beating and I didn't want the recipes to get lost. Nearly every baking recipe lists oleo. I bet it felt very modern then too.
