Blatz Beer "Nourishing Tonic" For Mom...And Baby!

That Marlboro one is too funny.
"Chill mom, have a smoke!"
That we now seem to be 'offended' by some of these old ads...only speaks to our slow slide into a much more insidious sickness...'political correctness'!

Leave it to JOE to find these priceless "gems"...ROFL!
Maybe there were a FEW "bumps in the road" when it came to all those "better times" in the past?
I will concede this...happily.
(like...the kitchen in our house is MY DOMAIN...!)
And the Subaru?
Well, they DID rust really well back then.
My doctor preferred CHESTERFIELDS.
And I agree that having little Elizabeth take that revolver TO BED isn't the BEST idea these advertisers had.
(the only thing FIRED was the aforementioned ad-man...LOL)
Nicely done...thank you both for some of history's more inept trysts at "informing the public".
(or was that MIS-informing?)
Stay safe down there.
OMG, can you imagine these ads today? Still laughing. The coffeee ad and the Blatz are my favorites.
