So you've got tons of bowling scores, and you're the bowling secretary! What to do?!?!?!?

Overhead refrigerators. There must be a reason these did not catch on. Maybe trying to replace something that is practically built in?

By-pass surgery seemed like a good idea at the time. Having a sports superstar like Arthur Ashe endorse your product seemed like a good idea, too. This one is rather sad, to say the least. Obviously, it's not the product that's to blame, but the ad copy seems rather poignant and ironic in retrospect. 


Tragically, AIDS doesn't care either. :(

uh, okay, i find this sort of creepy, how could the marketing department think this was a good idea at all? 'hey, let's market this as tasting like his grandma's favorite recipes!!'....

Paradichlorobenzene (moth killer).  Just sprinkle it all over everything.  May cause cancer.

After all that scariness, I think it's time for something that the people in the film consider horrific, but what we consider good fun. And it just barely makes the vintage date cutoff!

Da da da dum! *snap snap* )

Burning fossil fuels seemed like such a good idea.  Smell the burning irony?

AYDS will make you thin! 



I wasn't aware this product was on the market this long, but I'm sure not too long after this. I remember my mother use to take these in the early 70s and no matter how well she hid them, I always found them and ate them! They were good! Kind of like Kraft caramels.

Not a contest entry because dandyxr had the good idea at the time, but I thought I'd toss this one onto the pile:
