Dr. Batty's "Asthma" cigarettes are my favorite.

 

[Pappy]

Start your Babies on Coca Cola. Never to early. Good lord.

Funny ads Sunny! When my older sister was in her late teens she bought some Wate-On wafers, and since I begged her because I was such a skinny kid, she let me have one. Now, neither of us need any products like that, just the opposite....funny how that works!

The secret ingredient was cocaine...

Ain't no way dem puppies is real Falcon, she'd poke a fellers eye out......I bet she's got a couple of those orange traffic cones under her blouse.

 

[Jingles]

My husband wants one of these!

I don't think this one would be very popular!

 

[Pappy]

Really....

 

[fureverywhere]

I am LOVING this thread!!!!

Oh I wanted to add a fun fact explaining the Lysol ad. Yes in the 1920's it was marketed to keep your lady bits clean and fresh... you read that correctly...hurts to think about...

 

[Jackie22]

LOL...those are great, I think my mother has a Hoover just like that one.

What a hoot! We've learned a lot in the past 50+ years. I wonder what people 50 years from now will think about today's advertisements....especially all these "Ask Your Doctor" ads...when the full side effects become known, decades from now.

TAPE WORMS!!???! Lovely.

 

[fureverywhere]

Okay, that is the first time I ever saw them packaged and ready as a diet.

These are hysterical! Thanks to all for adding to my original list.

About the "Call your doctor" ads, even now they seem ludicrous. Imagine if everyone called their doctor about every little thing all the time... the doctor would never get off the phone!

I sort of remember some of those ads from when I was very, very young and to be honest, they arouse zero nostalgia in me. I don't even like looking at them and I think it's because my sister and I grew up in a very unstable household. I think I was frightened a lot when I was very young. Nothing near as bad as some ladies have described there childhoods, but uncomfortable emotionally you know.

Mine wouldn't take the call. If you are lucky, you get to talk to the nurse.

I never saw any of those. That was so funny and clever.
