10 Hilarious Ads from the Past (with Utterly Bizarre Nutrition Advice) – Part 2
Looking for a delicious, filling snack packed with vitamins and good for your health? Have a Mars. At least, if we are to believe the Mars ad from the 1940s. We recently shared these and even more bizarre ads with you. But because we just can’t get enough… We’ve collected a few more hilarious ads from the past (with utterly bizarre nutrition advice) for you.
And I can tell you this: our jaws drop every single time.
Beer for the whole family
Indeed, that’s something to knock everyone in the family out with.
Ketchup
Let me guess: E955, E300, E160d…
Sweet and soggy ‘Swedish’ bread
I know why that bread is still just as stark white three weeks later. Sugar and fat. Those are also exactly the reasons why everyone ate that bread ‘with great pleasure’ in the 1960s.
A serving of mould?
No thanks. I’ll pass.
Pepsi gives you plenty
Like cavities and extra pounds. Thanks, Pepsi.
The ultimate secret to losing weight
The ultimate secret to fitting into the dress you wore when you were 16? Three slices of bread with peanut butter and three large glasses of milk, for eight weeks. If only we had known that earlier…
Cigarettes for pregnant women
In that case, we’d rather eat sidewalk chalk or dip pickles in Nutella.
Smart Smarties
Smarties really did think of everything. Except for those extra dental bills and appointments with the dietitian.
Eat candy healthily, eat sugar
Want to lose a few pounds? Eat sugar!
‘Natural’ sprinkles (full of sugar)
It doesn’t get more natural than this, with all that granulated sugar and cocoa in it. Nor does it get any unhealthier.
