Those sheet ads are INSANE.

You can ask all you want for Canadian Club in Syria, but most Islamic countries ban alcohol.

First ad, Arabs ban alcohol so no.

2nd ad, what the heck??

3rd ad, Again no.

Yeah, I'd like to see those whiskey-wise men stand around in Syria today holding some glasses of booze. Have fun, fellas!

The second ad, I don't even. I wonder what they were smoking over in Lancaster back then. It's mostly meth labs there now. (Just kidding! Kinda.)

The last ad could pass for fear-mongering propaganda today.
