    Ok, so while a fair few of the adverts back then were unbelievably sexist; some are just too hilarious I just had to share. So buckle up. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    "Laboratory test over the last few years have proven that babies who start drinking soda during that early formative period have a much higher chance of gaining acceptance and "fitting in" during those awkward pre-teen and teen years."

    So, that's why the huge, recent Aspie epidemic--you weren't bottle-fed Coca-Cola enough as a baby, like your high-blood-pressure-pill-poppin', but socially-functional grandparents. :roflmao: :lol: :roflmao: :lol:

    Some of the top ones were funny, but some OMG! You have to remember that these ad's were made after the war, thus women proved they could manage things on their own. And then the men came back and started subjugating again. Many women had to deal with men with PTSD-syndrome and well it must not have been easy. Sad thing is that this happens in many homes around the world to this very day.

    different topic, $0.05 for coke would work out to around $0.50 today, not that bad !

    Yeah, makes sense!
    And yeah, that's like 35p for coke, under half the price for a can! :astonished:

    The poster probably is, but the "scientific" research probably wasn't.

    (To be honest, I'm not sure that one is even real. Probably not. But it is funny.)

    And others are terrifying

    Oh I see, little Jimmy up there can eat sticks of butter with a fork, but when I want a little bit extra on toast, suddenly I'm bad!

    I know, right? And it's totally OK for babies to drink Coke, but GOD-FORBID I drink some every now and then!
