Heading back in time...
As an advertising major (not that it got me too far), I've always been fascinated with what makes a product sell. Think of the ads of today, perfectly airbrushed, glossy and beautiful. After flipping through some '50s magazines, I realized how far we have come. Back in the day, did these advertisements really make people buy the product?
There is just something about this goosebump-y chicken that screams:
"Go vegetarian!"
Apparently the '50s were the height of convenience food.
The key is "dinner in a can", YUM!
Heaven forbid being caught with the dreaded "Tell-Tale mouth!
I read these mags for hours, it was really fun! Tomorrow I'll tackle some of the other things that caught my eye...stay tuned!
Oh and don't forget to keep your man happy today ladies!

ReplyDeleteOh what a trip down memory lane....I do have fond memories of our advertising classes. We had a lot of fun didn't we!!!
ReplyDeleteLook at all of us advertising majors!! Too funny!
These are too fun! I would absolutely LOVE to live in the 50s... what a darling decade! And I agree... chicken is not nearly as appetizing after that picture!
