Vintage Ads You Won’t Believe Existed


45. Chase & Sanborn Coffee (the 1950s)

Chase & Sanborn Coffee

If a woman didn’t fetch her husband this coffee, he’d not only beat her, but he’d throw her over his lap and focus on hitting her buttocks. Wow.

46. Marlboro (the 1950s)

Marlboro

Mom smokes it to make herself more pleasant. When Dad does it, it’s because he deserves nothing but the best cancer stick. Excellent work, Marlboro.

47. Jester Wools (1947)

Jester Wools

We’re not sure whether this was a jest and play on words regarding homosexual guys back in the 1940s, but that’s not how it ages today, and Jester Wools would be fired instantly for this idiocy.

48. Volkswagen (the 1960s)

Volkswagen

This entire advertisement is a recitation of how horrible women drivers are and how much money they cost their spouses because they drive recklessly. I’m pleased we’re past all that nonsense in this day and age.
