This isn't exactly a floating head but I didn't know what else to call it.

...holding her aloft, gnawing on her arm, and this is an ad for suits made in Canada?! Wait, WHAT?!

There are several "Babies in Cellophane" DuPont ads from this time. When I see one, I want to rescue the baby!
Also, that stork is creepy.

"Bring lots of food. In Siberia, edible food is difficult to come by. Spam spread on anything usually does the trick. Although after eating Spam-On-Everything you may get quite full.



You can easily burn it by the very popular Siberian pastime of trapping wild orphans."

After heeding all of this advice, our trusty duo picked up a few giant bottle-shaped traps at a Siberian trading post, and argued over what they should use as bait. Oates won the argument, and they loaded their shopping cart with ...

Royal Crown (RC) Cola, 1942

The first-person chattiness, "reach for me" intimacy... is creeping me out.

I don't get what they're fighting about or the message the company is trying to convey, but the kid standing up might want to be mindful of his groin. 
I wondered if this ad might have been part of series, but I could never find any evidence of that. From what I can tell, the company ran only one ad a year for several years. This one ran in Ebony for a few years beginning in 1960, but usually as a half-page ad. The one from 1959 is unrelated to this one and is too boring to post as it just shows the front of the building, but it does feature a nice family of floating heads. Later ads were more generic "you need insurance because" type without the threat of neighborhood bullies.

I'm guessing this is a holiday ad because I think he's supposed to be an angel. Either that or he's a relative of Harvey Birdman

Tonight on TLC's I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant, Amy's 24-month undetected pregnancy comes to an abrupt, but unusually clean, end.

Just found this in a 1965 issue of Better Homes and Gardens, and given earlier posts, I just had to put it up.  The eggs in particular that Jello mold will haunt my dreams, but all of it's nightmare fuel.

Gives a beautiful lustre!

Burnett's Cocoaine

I scanned these in from a book of stories my grandfather had when he was a kid. Look for more in future contests!

RADIUMSCOPE!

This isn't exactly new in vintage ad circles (it has its own shirt on zazzle.com) but as it turns out, hubby HAS one of these at school (he's a physics teacher)!  He says it is long since inactive (despite their promises of millennia of radiation).  He also pointed out that (a) at the time it would have been the coolest thing to actually see atomic energy and (b) it would be shooting gamma rays into your eyes from three inches away.

And it glows with a weird light. :D

It's important to drink beer.  It's for your health.  To prevent rickets.

Either that, or Prohibition had been so long the brewers had completely forgotten how to sell the stuff.

Beer.  With Vitamin D.

(Liberty, August 1936)

(May I suggest a "Vitamins" tag?)
