Vintage Ads

[kybearfuzz]

A buddy of mine sent me an email with this link to some vintage ads that are funny and truly bizarre by today's standards (and misogynistic and racist, so be careful if you're at work). I admit I have had a good laugh over the "Vibra Finger" and smoking ads. They actually make an album for "swinging mothers." I was going to post one and make it a caption contest, but they're all so weird I couldn't pick one. We've come a long way in the advertising game, and so have consumers, I hope.

This one is my favorite though. Who knew there was such a use for Lysol?

Oh, my. "No greasy aftereffect". I hate that greasy aftereffect. Or..., or do I? Hmmm....

You're right. There are too many bad ones in there to pick from though the one of the pig slicing himself up is kinda disturbing.

Did you see the one with the baby crawling out from under the discarded bathtub? Just weird.

LOL... I'm sure the "vibra-finger" was used to massage many sensitive areas. The gums at the time was the only one they could advertise for :D

Lysol

Yah I heard about the Lysol stories years ago. I can't imagine using something so harsh on yer innards though. Bleh. I'm guessing it was added to water and cut down. But then, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww what do I care.


Hehehe.

Nothing says "clean" like pouring Lysol in the vajayjay.
