For better start in life, start Cola earlier

Came across this in the article by Groovy History and thought I'd share with this comm; several of the other ads are even more unbelievable; take a look over here at their website

Edited to add:

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] deverbative for pointing this out:

This ad is fake.

Further edit from [livejournal.com profile] dandyxr:

That Hardee's ad that says "women don't leave the kitchen" and the Winston ad with the pregnant woman smoking are pretty obvious fakes

But.. a lot of the ads on there are real. Basically all the ones that have a husband spanking his wife are legit. Palmolive "men ask is she pretty not is she clever", even the Marlboro one "have a cigarette before you scold me"
