Vintage Ad #787: Hutch for Bad Breath by jbcurio.

Why is the title of the ad about bad breath and then the article is about flatulence? I like how they try to use big words to make it seem like a cure-all. Again, read the whole thing to get full effect.

Vintage cigarette ad by ewm04.

America’s favorite cigarette and yet it’s being used on the moon. It’s just a little contradictory.

“So refreshing”

I wonder if they’ve stopped making peppermint Pez because I’ve never heard of it. At least this guy’s enjoying it because he’s red hot.
