Ah yes, the days of old. A time when manipulation marketing was top-notch. So without further adieu, here is a collection of classic print ads for your enjoyment.

“When she told me that he walks all over her, I didn’t think it was like this!”

The teddy bear is of age, I swear.

Cause when the husband finds out, you better be able to run like a Puma™.

And more dentists chew SKOAL than any other brand!

Time to go dumpster diving. Yaaaay!

Patting a child on the back to make it burp is sooooo yesteryear.

Cover the lady’s head and glass in the second picture. What do you see?

He should’ve been wearing a helmet…Now he’ll always wear a helmet.

“The bloody gloves don’t fit me Claire. They simply do not fit!”

Just remember…when you put your “heads” together, you can accomplish anything.

For when you want a miscarriage, drink Coca-Cola, the natural birth control.™

Well then, I guess Puma doesn’t really make cum-catchers in that case. Darn.
