I am sure this has been posted before because it's just that good, I mean that awful . . . I don't know what I mean.



Life, July 15, 1966

The scary  thing is that this is from an issue from the month I was born and I shudder to think that my mom, a new mother, thought I might need corn oil.

I supposed it could be worse. At least it's not high fructose corn syrup!

I take it they're drinking perfume? I guess it's supposed to be "Juicy." Yes, I would add that to the "what were they thinking" file, but then many a perfume ad belongs there.

Your explanation made this make more sense to me. I never did figure out wtf they were thinking with this ad by myself. We could do some great contests in February. . .

[suchakiller.livejournal.com]

yes, like this one.
I get it that they want it to seem kind of a refreshing fragrance, or so.
But all I can think is how awful it would smell being splashed with perfume like that.

This was about how a friend of mine applied body sprays. So much that you could taste it when she walked past.

This ad put me off of the fragrance for the longest time. Shame because it's a great scent.

Oh yeah, that oil sounds real refreshing hahaha. I think I'd rather drink syrup than oil, though.

Guh-ross. Even thinking about that makes me gag.

This is a pretty modern looking ad for '66!

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

The text of the ad seems remarkably forward-thinking as well with all the discussion of saturated and unsaturated fats. I had no idea they cared about that in the 60s. It seemed like heart attacks were the mark of a hard-working, successful man back then.

Possibly it was just to get people talking about it using the Ick factor? I know I can't stop thinking about it.

Seriously, I had to double back and check the date of the ad on this post. It looks really recent!

That'll clean you out. Hoo boy.
