That's too awesome! I love the one from the "Soda Pop Board of America".... " How soon is too soon? Not soon enough. Laboratory tests over the last few yeas have proven that during that early formative period (children) have a much higher chance of gaining acceptance and "fitting in" during those awkward pre-teen and teen years..."

And all this time I thought it was just because I was ugly. Curse my mother for making me drink milk...

I'm sure Glenn Beck, Rush Limpballs and their ilk would be fine with a select few of those ads today!

I actually remember the ad about doctors smoking Camels. I guess I remember it because my doctor did.

I remember the Virginia Slims ad which said "Spoil yourself, Smoke Virginia Slims".

I don't think they meant spoil as in rot and ruin.
