In my time trawling through the messes of the internet, I have managed to accrue a number of old advertisements. Usually because they amused me, for some reason or another. Oh, and there was this art project in which I paid mocking homage to old "snake oil" cures.

Anyway.

I have come to the conclusion, that, hey, why not post them here?

I don't believe any of them are repeats, though I could be mistaken.

I like how it looks like the lady in the tub is talking into a microphone. "Welcome to the BATHTIME HOUR, ladies and gentlemen! Our guest today is... MR. BUBBLE!"

And I think I'm going to start using "bile beans" as a pet name for someone... maybe the cat.

Heh!

Well, everybody who looks at ads knows that vibrators are only used on the upper chest area.

And such a wide array of attachments on the bath vibrator. . .

Electric Bath? I do not think that means what you think it means.

the tortures of the damned

electric and bath...can you imagine resting in a tub full of water with 75,000 volts hovering precariously above you, taunting you with certain death? I guess I'd grab the wand too, if I knew I only had minutes left before my looming and electrifying demise. Er...where, exactly, is that black tube toward the center of the bathtub headed?

I thought what she had in her hand WAS a microphone! "testing, testing, one two, ssssssibilance ssssibilance..."

Basically, that last one is a cure for suicide. Now, i've had violent bouts of the flu where I truly would have rather died than to vomit again. Is that what they mean?

My grandfather had some kind of black tar derivative he'd give us when we were sick and they were babysitting - this was only twenty years ago. Nasty tasting. But you sure started acting un-sick fast.
