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. Every once in a while, there's a rare gem worth telling other people about. Adam McKay forwarded these to me - 9 Amazing Ads from the 30s. These are real. 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!"

Now thats some food for thought …..
Can guess, what people in 2080 will think of today’s ads ??
I am happy… because I eat lard.
i love that santa is a cherterfields man…and i try and have as many fags a day as i can because they’re right, you could get hit by a bus tomorrow, can’t waste my chances now…
What a glorious time to live! When women poured Lysol in their vaginas as men blew cigarette smoke into their eager faces. When your doctor would light up as he told you to “go eat some tapeworms and lard”.
Hmmm…I think Sen. Larry Craig got in trouble for looking for fags.
He was looking for a cigarette ina non-smoking area, right?
The lard promotion is hard to pass up.
Who could pick just one? Thanks for sharing!
blow in her face and she’ll follow you anywhere- that’s how my grandma met grandpa
this made me laugh
I love the first one.
My mind wandered in the same direction as vijayind. Will our current fads turn out to be as ridiculous to future generations as these are to us?
The lard one is a spoof from Viz magazine from about 1992.
Not sure I believe the Lysol douche one. That cannot be real whatsoever.
The tipalet post is from the 70s
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.
The Tipalet ad is from the 60s
Very Funny. I think everyone still easts lard though. Just go to a fast food outlet.

THESE ARE GREAT…THANX FOR SHAREING
Isn’t smoking fags illegal in most states? ... not that there’s anything wrong with it, but my… how far we’ve come…
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. The “Lysol for feminine hygiene” ad is real, believe it or not, and it is from the ‘30s. The “Have a Fag” ad is from the UK, and would have made a lot more sense there in the ‘30s than in the U... more >
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!
Both “Have a fag” and ”...Lard” are parodies from a British adult comic called Viz (www.viz.co.uk)
I totally get why Jim Nabors is on the fag ad, but why is Bob Newhart there? Oh no.. not him and Tom Poston. So Tom’s marriage to Suzanne Pleshette was a total cover up? Oh wait! Maybe Bob hooked up with Larry, Darryl or Darryl. ewwwww NO! I always suspected Susanne Pleshette (Emily) and Carol, Bob’s perky secretary, so maybe it was a group thing. Yeah, it ... more >
