Oldy-time advertisements

I always like these old time ads for products that were complete crap, or they were so damn insensitive they were a joke. I recently came across a collection that I wanted to share with all of you.


First up is our good friend Lysol, that we all clean our KITCHEN COUNTER's with!! In what bizarro world did we used to think this was a great idea to spray up the old cooter?


I don't know what bothers me more, the happy lard eating family, or the fact that there used to actually be a "Lard Information Council".



That's that bitch I used to date! I recognize those stocking lines anywhere...


As someone who writes technical documentation, I appreciate the use of the labels in the photos to help me figure out old hard way from new Schlitz way. Now if only they could have done something about the skunk taste of their beer.


I think it was Nicolaus Copernicus that first postulated the hard work versus cute look theory. And Kelloggs was just pushing Meth a long time before it became fashionable.


You could always tell a true animal lover that would allow his dog to have a hole for it's head - while riding in a sack outside the damn car...


Oh holy hell! Did people really do this? Don't worry about these tape worms honey, their sanitized! And when I read "easy to swallow", I threw up in my mouth just a bit.

Tune in again the next couple of days when I spring forward into the 60's with more great ads!

  3. While the tape worms were gross, the idea of Lysol was even worse!

    But the doggie car-case made me laugh out loud.
