vintageadsI have a few individual posts for this with ads I haven't posted before, but wanted to kick off this with a truly epic selection of some the best-worst DAFUQ?! products that I have come across. Some so absurd that I feel the need to say upfront yes, these are ALL real, I found every single one in an old magazine or in some cases, old medical journals. Yeah..
Let's start with probably my favorite of all time:
Vigor’s Horse-Action Saddle, 1895
Mail Order Monkey, 1967
WAY MORE BEHIND THE CUT -
Oscar Mayer’s “Sack o’ Sauce in a Can o’ Meat,” 1950
Royal Worcester Corset, 1907
Modern Vacuum Cap Company, 1916
Powdered Wine, 1981
Brand and Co. Meat Juice & Classified Ads, 1898
"Nutritive Enema", 1887
Lambert Snyder Vibrator, 1907
(Believe me, I could do an epic post of old vibrator ads with outrageous medical claims, but what really separates this one from the pack is the fact that on top of the utter quackery, this is not even electric - it is operated with a HAND CRANK)
