"New Wonder Drugs - Serve Yourself!"

And we wonder why the Baby Boomers are so overmedicated...

[tanwen.livejournal.com]

Wow, what a post!

[emisi.livejournal.com]

Those "joy of eating" kids look like they have the devil inside them. Scary.

[center_field]

This was a fantastic post - thank you so much!

[irish-mafia1978.livejournal.com]

This post looks like the stuff you find over at Lileks.com (http://www.lileks.com)! Nice!

[psychofish.livejournal.com]

wooow so much stuff. This is awesome!

[fj.livejournal.com]

Ok, the kids are universally scary, most of them looking like the corn field even spit them out.

But god, that vision of life when you put all of them together... so carefree, so stylish, so together, (so white)... it seems like current commercials are so much about what an overwhelmed loser slob you are who needs the next helper to keep up.

Dag, that broke my high speed.

co-mod note

[misstia]

these are great images and ads, but many of them aren't ads---or if they were, the product they're advertising isn't shown. so please make sure it's the complete ad.

i know there is not limits, but for our dial up friends, i think a post with lesser images would be better for everyone. there is no limit on how many posts you can make a day!

Re: co-mod note

[cliph.livejournal.com]

Some of them look like stock images that could have been used for promotion of non-specific products or services. Anyway, great post!

Re: co-mod note

I think several of them came from ads for the packaging. That is, they aren't trying to sell the food to consumers, they're trying to sell plastic film to the people trying to sell food to consumers.

Re: co-mod note

[ana-lee.livejournal.com]

Ok, I see.

Re: co-mod note

[midnightmadness.livejournal.com]

Don't let it bother you, MOST of the members here appreciated the post, its content, and the fact that you DID consolidate it all into one entry instead of several needlessly separate entries. Me (and my LJ friends page) appreciates both the content and effort here.

Best post this community has seen in ages.

Re: co-mod note

[misstia]

you are forgetting people who have dialup....this is a huge post, i'm surprised it even was in LJ limit size restriction...i have high speed internet and as i type this, the pix are STILL downloading...

i did enjoy a lot of the images in this post, as i said in my comment...

Re: co-mod note

[midnightmadness.livejournal.com]

1. Considering many pictures that were not attached to an add that have been allowed to be posted here in the past, you've long since opened the door for allowing tangible ad like material to be posted. I also believe that 99% of those "not ad" images were somehow related to advertising or the lifestyle of consumerism related to adverts - I could make an argument for any picture you wish to cite as somehow not appropriate. My suggestion, if you really feel this is and issue confer with your fellow moderators and establish a clear definition of whether you'll allow it or not, otherwise I think you're being unnecessarily persnickety.

2. You can put my vote clearly in the category of people who would definitely, 1000% for sure, no question about it, NOT want to see a dozen posts from the same person in one day. LJ limits a person to 1000 entries going back on their FL - if I don't read for a couple of days, as it the case more often than not on the weekends, I can easily go past 1000 back entries on my FL (e.g. this post falls almost 500 entries back already on my FL) and then I need to start resorting to filters (on for comms, on for journals, one for feeds) and back tracking to see it all since the last time I read. Regardless of even the technical limitations, I DO NOT appreciate stuff that can be consolidated into one post taking up multiple entries and cluttering my friends list.

Re: co-mod note

[misstia]

1. i do not feel i'm being persnickety; if there is a non-ad post i address it as i see fit...there was one recently where it was just a link to an outside source, i sent them a note and then deleted the post.

2. i was not suggesting that someone post a dozen times. but if someone did every once and awhile i wouldn't have a problem with it. i cannot imagine going back more than 3 pages on my FL! i never knew you could go back 1000!

it's been a discussion before re: large post and individual smaller posts...some prefer a lot in one post and others prefer a few small posts....it's an individual preference and is up to the posters discretion....

[nonentityb.livejournal.com]

That was almost poetic.

Like others, I especially enjoyed the "demented children" montage in the middle.

[arylkin.livejournal.com]

FANTASTIC!

"Meat ...You're right in liking it" Hahahaha!

[bolddeciever.livejournal.com]

Almost half of me wants to go crosspost that to vegetarian communities. Almost half of me is very bad.

[albaestranya.livejournal.com]

What a post! Awesome stuff, thank you for sharing it with us (even when the scary children will surely give me nightmares, tonight :P)

[jakari.livejournal.com]

Daaaaamn, it's the mother lode. ;)
Probably too much for one post though.

Now I feel like I owe Panera Bread a couple more danishes and maybe a cup of coffee for mooching wireless off them while downloading it all.

A-freaking-mazing post!

[veggielibrarian.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. This is a keeper!

[kokosbolla.livejournal.com]

everyone is white and happy...

[profundamente.livejournal.com]

that was really fun! thanks for the post.

[bolddeciever.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad 7-up likes me too... I was starting to get insecure about the mutuality of our relationship.

Also, nice to see Spaghetti Demon Kid and Bean Demon Kid for the first time in a while (does anyone still have the anigif of SDK with the second head coming out, a la Alien?)

[bolddeciever.livejournal.com]

My sis made this after I linked her to this post, but couldn't be arsed to join v_a to post it:

[dazedpuckbunny.livejournal.com]

LOL!!!!!!!!

[mistressxenobia.livejournal.com]

WTF IS WITH THE COFFEE CUP GESTURE????

Are you supposed to hold a coffee cup like that when you're telling people the coffee's ready?

That messed with my head.


Also, BEST POST EVAR!

[amelia-eve.livejournal.com]

It's an ad for Maxwell House coffee, replicating the "Good to the last drop" picture of the draining cup on their package.

These are all from Plan 59, which has much better documentation.

[bbcaddict.livejournal.com]

ah back when people could look like normal people in ads rather than too perfect robot-nicks. Of course most of these are illustrations but still.
Even *gasp* OLD PEOPLE!

[kartusch.livejournal.com]

I want the cashier's glasses. I do not want the photo of the freckly redhead kid with oj, he is planning to kill me and eat my entrails I think...


( I wonder if men in the 50s did regularly ogle phallic meat)

[dazedpuckbunny.livejournal.com]

Awesome post! Beautiful illustrations although so long that I started to get paranoid as I was scrolling and the hungry children in the middle started to eat my soul. *cries* :)

[bitterflower.livejournal.com]

The Dubble Bubble one reminds me of the animation in the Incredibles.
This whole post makes me smile. :)

[dreadsmile.livejournal.com]

Is that woman at the door waving a soviet flag? 21st row from the top.

[bluemoontide.livejournal.com]

Holy cow it is some kind of red flag in the Cold War era. Good eye. You know those closet commies in the media, always trying to stick in some thing subliminal.

[pseydtonne.livejournal.com]

Wow with this amazing set of ads! As others have mentioned, it's mind-blowing to think how honky the world must have been back then.

[aratama.livejournal.com]

Those are all beautiful -- the crispness, the colors, the attention to detail, the adorable caricatures -- thank you!

[vierasesine.livejournal.com]

I don't think you should be frying bacon when you're high. You'll only end up hurting yourself.

[thomasirvin.livejournal.com]

Wow. That was the best post in the five or six months I've been in this community. Thanks.

[cwinnipeg.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD YES. THIS is what I wait 6 months for in this community.

So what's up with those guys at the BBQ?

[hemlock-martini.livejournal.com]

Now I'm hungry. For the 1950's.

Chronovores probably should stay away from this comm...

[sarahkjrsten.livejournal.com]

This is an amazing post. Thank you for sharing.
