The Nipple Bra: turn on your high beams and headlights
Holy crap, this is awesome copy: “Imagine having that sensual cold-weather look all the time.”
I find it interesting that at one time… women wanted to look like they weren’t wearing a bra — and yet… they still wore one.
Why not just “not wear a bra?”
I mean, if social stigma came with that, then it would be there whether you’re actually not wearing a bra and everyone knows, or you’re wearing a bra but it looks like you’re not wearing a bra, right?
This one is harder to figure out than the Rubix cube.
Close your mouth and STOP Farting already.
Work with me on this…
So they are talking about how stinky it is when you fart, right?
But they are showing how you fart out of your mouth.
I’m missing something. Or…
Either farting used to be what they called burping, or else, back in the old days… your asshole was on top of your head instead of at the bottom of your trunk.
Hey, who am I to judge?
Hubba Hubba…
Yeah, I’m sure that’s what the guy in this photo, and every other guy who looks at this ad, is thinking about how much they need a new 5-foot tall microwave.
More reinforcement that hot milfs go for the rich dude all the time.
Ummm… Awkward?
WOW, who was the genius who thought to himself “Hey, I bet if we show grossly distorted drawings of hated military leaders walking around with massive syringes with pointy needles on them… we could get a lot of guys to slide a protective rubber over their penis before having sex.”
Chauvinism at its best – how else would you advertise business shirts in the 1960’s?
Yes, show her.
Show her it’s a man’s world gosh-darnit.
“Slide that breakfast tray down honey, and I’ll show you what it means to wear Van Heusen”…
$356,490 per Gig of Space:
This ad, from BYTE magazine, back in 1990… shows you how memory space is one of the FEW consumer goods that’s consistently decreased in price.
Since there are 1,024 Megabytes in one Gig of space, at #3,495 for 10 MB, 1 Gig turns out to cost more than a house!
And if you take inflation into account, this is $636,892.43 in today’s dollars. And that’ll buy you a lot more than a house – you can even get a 200 square foot apartment in a bad neighborhood in New York City with it, today.
Best. Lipstick. Ever.
Make sure you pick up a few tubes of “Hound Dog Orange” before supplies are all gone.
