From The "If I Throw Enough Shit Out There Some Might Make The Feed" Dept: Ads You May Not See Anywhere else
I've scoured the Internet to find these classic ads you just might not find in your local store, or advertised in your local newspaper... Now As Not Seen on TV...
Seems legit indeed- Order now and I'll throw in a bridge of your choice.
Having trrouble getting Jr. to sleep?
Like the name implies...
Not found at Walgreens
This one's a real trip!
I think I feel a cough coming on!
And of course- not only an incecticide a deodorant!

Yeah looking at these attempts from the past to address our health issues and make money at the same time, is probably not the best way to go about it in the light of today's knowledge. I think the same thing can be said for today's 'wonder medicines' with all their side effects.
I like the ad recently on tv about fixing memory loss but along with it comes violent diarrhea. At least then you will remember where the nearest bathroom is!
There was one anti-rheumatoid arthritis drug... the side effects were- TB, lymphoma and other cancers and death! Now who wouldn't choose those over arthritis???
Those are brilliant - I'm sure in 100 years people will look at the crap sold today and feel the same way
Or aliens will come and think this is real... Like Gilligan's Island
Apparently the Coast Guard would often receive telegrams from Americans who didn’t realise the show wasn’t real.
Thanks, Rich, for the excellent and entertaining collection! ;)
😄😇😄
Gotta love "Instant Death" it's an insecticide AND deodorant in one!
A real "twofer," for sure! ;)
Why this is incredible thank you for sharing.
Thank you... I wrote a really good post about teachers and the problems they face now for steemit ed and it disappeared while I was posting it.
People are just liberal in the old times.
Plus the ' smoking is good for you" often backed by a name with Dr after it as well.
