#WackyWednesday: Bizarre vintage adverts from the past

Good businessmen will tell you an eye-catching advertisement can do wonders for your business. But as the following vintage adverts prove, eye-catching is not always a good thing...

Adverts have always played a major role in business.

However, there was a time when businesses weren’t politically correct, nor were they big on gender equality and safety.

Here are six vintage adverts that would never have been approved if advertising agencies had dared to submit them now.

1. When Charlie Sheen is your pharmacist

2. But isn’t that sexist, Kelloggs?

3. And here is my doctor trying to get me to quit…

4. Should babies really be allowed access to sharp blades?

5. When is it too soon to introduce your children to gassy cooldrinks?

6. Only listen to this advert if you don’t value your marriage
