Ads of the Week - Those were the days!

Written by on

We're going old school this week, really old school, the theme this week is called ‘Those Were The Days’. Now I just have to say these are actual adverts and aren’t made up, so you have to ask the question, how on earth did they get through, and trust me I have removed the most inflammatory ones.

I’m not even going to pass comment on these for fear of reprisal, so I’ll let you make your mind up which is the one you love/hate the most :)

Tell me which one in the comments section below.

Have a great bonfire night.

Schlitz Beer

Cocaine Toothache Drops

Kenwood Chef

Camel Cigarettes

Tipalet Cigarettes

A Hideous Shoe

Van Heusen Ties

Chesterfield Cigarettes

PEP Vitamins

It's a good job I'm a secure independant woman who can "laugh" at these - lol!! I feel there maybe a sudden rush on the "cocaine toothache drops" - I feel your friendly neighbourhood drug-baron has missed a trick here!! Lovin' 'em!!

I've literally just stopped laughing. I can't believe that these were real adverts! Excellent blog post.
