Grapefruit juice is a punishment to me not a benefit.*yucky*:eusa_doh:

I was going to say that I have to get me one of those ties if that is the case.

Every time she ever cooked something in the frying pans, it looked like me lol lol lol

I like the tie towards the bottom of the ad the most.

 

[kps]

Very healthy this one...

Um, guys? Obvious joke.

Blatz the beer that gets rid of teething pain and makes mom blotto.

If this ad were from today, the soldiers would be shown having Schwarzenegger-size muscles.

From a "Men's" magazine, 1959

1953. I've made this. It's revolting.

Now I want a Blackstone. Havana tobacco.....

Oh and tomato sauce and Jello should not come in contact with each other even on a dare. :eeek:

Let me add:

So strange to see him smoking cigarettes rather than a pipe.

Hmmmm.... I wondered why I have gone through four doctors in the last few years.

Ok, you convinced me. Like I needed convincing.

We went from raspy voice to finding your voice. Sounds like a logical progression. :eeek:

The ties must have a mass hypnosis effect.

I've tried to convince my husband that sock garters and bow ties are ***y but he won't budge.

Back on topic:

Good God Almighty! Yep, that's a healthy way to eat and not get fat.....tape worms. What was I thinking do all that exercise? :eusa_doh:

I have noticed sock garters have that effect for some reason.[huh]

I read, an article a while back, where a person traveling in the third world purposely took a tapeworm. He said it kept him from getting a bunch of food and water bourne problems. When he got back he took the medicine and got rid of it. :eeek:[huh]

Looking at this I'm wondering what sort of jokes were flying around the boardroom at the ad agency when this was approved.

Definitely some phallic imagery going on here.

Really? He can have mine. NOS, prob. never used.

I have a ton of ads in my old magazines for godawful Jello concoctions. I hate Jello, even if there's always room for it, so it just makes it all the more disgusting.

But the '50s was an exciting time of bold Jello experimentation!

I showed this ad to my Mom and she started laughing! lol!

I showed her all the ads that have been posted here so far (some she remembers) and more than half the time she was either scratching her head or laughing!
