![]() Wishing everybody a magically delicious St Patrick's Day! Sugar Frosted Flakes took a back seat especially on St. Patrick’s Day when General Mill’s Lucky Charms was introduced in 1964. A bowl full of magically delicious charms in the shape of pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, and green clovers, was a magically delicious way to…

![]() America's middle class is vanishing before our eyes, fading away like a once cherished Kodacolor snapshot. Today the possibility of obtaining the American Dream feels as outmoded as these vintage advertisements from Kodak. The sad fall from grace for American icon Eastman Kodak, the very recorder and reinforcer of middle class America, seems to sadly…

![]() Inspired by the hit Netflix series Narcos, about the exploits of Pablo Escobar, some fans decided to dig up some of the period's not-so-subtle ads for cocaine paraphernalia. They posted their finds, clipped from drug magazines ranging from 1976 to 1981, to art and culture site The World's Best Ever.

Too young but amazed at the open ads for cocaine use. Really? Mindblowing.

Lysol was sold as a douche? Yes, but here's the catch. It was really for birth control. "These ads aren’t frightening women into thinking their genitals smell badly. According to historian Andrea Tone, “feminine hygiene” was a euphemism. "Birth control was illegal in the U.S. until 1965 (for married couples) and 1972 (for single people). These Lysol ads are actually for contraception. "The campaign made Lysol the best-selling method of contraception during the Great Depression." Quote from thesocietypages.org.
![]() As we've mentioned before, some logos like to sneak in some hidden symbols and meanings. Some might have been staring at you right in the face without you noticing.
![]() I’d like to say that we Baby Boomers were savvy shoppers in our youth—that we never fell for fancy packaging or seductive advertisements. I’d like to say that, but I’d be lying. Why else would we have slapped down our hard-earned baby-sitting money on products like these in the eternal quest to look and smell our best?

![]() The 1970s must have taken place on a different planet. These photos of men’s fashions from that decade leave us drowning in astounding mustard knits, garish patterns, high waists, way-too-skimpy briefs, and other fashion faux pas that defy description 40 years later. As synthetics fell in price, casual menswear was suddenly available to many young men looking to cut loose.

It's hard to imagine a time like this. Thank goodness for all those who fought for women's rights and for those who continue to fight for equal rights for everyone!

This is a classic writing prompt: what if companies told the truth? What if we said, buy this beer so you will think, after four, that you are irresistible? Of course, everyone knows dreams and promises are far more popular than reality and experience. Still, at the very least we should make an effort to promote clever and somewhat honest advertising. Just because it's fun. |
