Just take a deep inhale of this asbestos snow! And if you cough, take a drink of this heroin/morphine caugh syrup, it's the shits!!
It’s stuff like this that makes me think what will future generation think “what were they doing” like we are with this. I’m not talking about obvious stuff that people are divided on but something that’s commonly accepted as fact
Probably how much plastic we use. Back in the days of this ad, stuff still came in glass.
All the disposable nonsense seemed to sharply rise in use afterwards. Everyone remembers the line from The Graduate, "get into plastics"..
People are going to look back at single use alkaline cells like we were insane. "You mean they had batteries that would destroy themselves after a single use? And they just threw them in the trash afterwards and kept buying new ones over and over? And they did this despite the fact that the technology for reusable batteries existed????"
Even now there are single use vapes and phone chargers out there. They're going to think we're even more insane for that, and rightfully so.
Microplastics, probably. "You had a material that never biodegrades... and you rubbed it against your food?"
At least she gets to drink some leeeean 💖💖
This ad was created by Don Draper
NOT her singing cooch as my tired eyes first read.
Now that's an act I'd pay to see
Science!
In case anyone was wondering if cancer got her, she died in 1942 at age 33 in a plane crash.
Somewhat off topic: The last time I saw more than say, five people per square megameter smoking cigarettes, circa 2015, Camel Crush was all the rage and luckies were scorned as cheap cigarettes for homeless people.
Tobacco products aside, I find it fascinating how brands rise and fall over time.
Cigarettes have always been about gimmicks. I remember Luckies were scorned because they came in a paper pack that easily deformed and premium cigarettes came in boxes. That's what separated Camel and Marlboro from Luckies and Broncos (and now both can also be found in paper boxes, showing what different packaging will do to sales without changing the product).
