A Vintage Ad Friday DOUBLE WHAMMY
Boosts personality!
Writing too small to read?
“How soon it too soon?
Not soon enough. Laboratory tests over the last few years have proven that babies who start drinking soda during that early formative period have a much higher chance of gaining acceptance and “fitting in” during those awkward pre-teen and teen years. So, do yourself a favor. Do your child a favor. Start them on a strict regiment of sodas and other sugary carbonated beverages right now, for a lifetime of guaranteed happiness”
I love that there is a Soda Pop Board of America.
Also, I love that they did lab tests over the last several years.
That’s swell. Now I know it’s true. But I do have a couple of questions, if I may: firstly…you raised babies in a lab, giving them ‘sugary carbonated’ drinks? Well done on your commitment to science. But how does one raise a sugar filled baby to a well adjusted teenager (yes, they breed well adjusted teenagers in labs) in a ‘few years’?
Genius, I assume. And the miracle of science.
I know I’m sold. I’m even going to give soda to the cat!
And for those of you reading this who WERE raised on soda from an early age, it does say “Start them on a strict regiment of sodas and other sugary carbonated beverages right now, for a lifetime of guaranteed happiness“.
So if you feel this written guarantee falls short, print this image and go see a lawyer.
Then email me and let me know how you go.

Welcome to Wrongsville, population you.
Another actual vintage ad I found online.
I have to admit I was gobsmacked by this one…
Yep, you’re going to prison now.

I’m Afraid of Americans
I think the marriage of David Bowie’s unusual voice (it always sounds slightly broken to me) to the distinctive sound of Nine Inch Nails is just perfect.
It’s a shame there isn’t more David Bowie/Nine Inch Nails music about. I know there’s some, but not nearly enough, especially when most of what I find is not so great live recordings.

A reminder for you animal people out there
It only takes a second and costs nothing, but clicking the ‘click here’ button daily you can help keep animals in shelters alive by providing food and shelter.
I’ve got the page sets so it loads in a tab every time I open firefox. It literally takes seconds to click it when I fire stuff up, and then I forget about it until the next day – it couldn’t be easier, but it makes a difference.

Um…
Disturbingly, that company DIDN’T go bust. It’s still around, selling group showers. You know, as you do.
