Our Blog: 9 Amazing Ads from the 30s
Who's Posting Here
Email forwards - use at your own risk. Most of the forwards I get are urban myths from my aunt saying Starbucks hates the troops or toliet paper causes cancer.

And they're so awesome, they're worth telling you about.
Which one is your favorite? I like "Eat eat eat and always stay thin. How? with sanitized tape worms!"

I STILL use Lysol for feminine hygiene! That’s why MY vagina smalls like Crisp Linens! For those special nights out on the town, I use the All-Purpose Cleaner with 3-in-1 action … Lemon Scent!

As has already been said, the Tipalet ad is from the ‘70s. The Schlitz beer ad is from the ‘60s. The Camel cigarette ad is from the ‘50s, as is the Chesterfield ad.

I love all the blatant misogyny in these ads: “blow in her face and she’ll follow you anywhere,” “she may be EVERYONE’S pal.” I guess chicks used to be a lot sluttier and more gullible back then.
