BLOG OF THE DAY:
Things we were supposed to Marvel at by using their products.

As I was walking thru the parking lot of Kmart, heading for
that holy mecca of savings, my thoughts went to all the ad
claims over the years different advertisers made...
The first one that came to mind was Rolaids - "Consumes 57 times
it's weight in excess acid"..pretty impressive eh?

Then I got to thinking about other products over the years...
Salem cigarettes.."take a puff, it's springtime"...as though
the menthol in it reminded one of a freshness akin to spring...
They even showed a setting of greenery on the television set..
lots of trees and shrubbery.and going through a corral gate
to eternal springdom! lol
What else? Dr. Pepper. Their glass bottle of yore had a circle
on it resembling a clock, with the numbers 2, 4 and 10 spread
out it implying these were the hours you should buy a bottle
and drink the cola to get pepped up! That would be 3 a day! 21 bottles a week.
lol
LAys potato chips had an ad saying you couldnt eat "just one"
chip, that it would lead to another and yet another...which is
kind of true..but who is going to buy a huge bag of potato
chips and eat just one?
What else? If you were a little old lady, and you were from
Pasadena,(or some other middle class suburb) you could put a
super charged Dodge automobile in your garage, and in your
spare time, peel out of the driveway, speed around, racing
all over the place at top rpms...
Viceroy Cigarettes - "we've incorporated a New HEALTH-GUARD Filter
It Makes VICEROY Better For Your Health Than Any Other Leading
Cigarette! Yeah, right!(but, there were so many cigarette
claims, they were all trying to out do each other saying that
each advertisers cigarette was "better for your health" than the others.)

After an article published in Reader's Digest in 1957 cited
Kent as the least toxic filter cigarette, a finding based on a
comparison of tar deliveries, Viceroy's sales dropped sharply

Then there's a type of super glue you can buy thats strong as s**t!..a man in a
hard hat hanging from a tall beam way up high, with his hat
supposedly glued on to the beam or girder, and it will support
his weight..anyone want to try that?

Ok, I hope We've had fun, but I do remember a lot of the old
ads from the old days and a lot of their claims...
