Cocaine Toothache Drops!
Well, I can only hope this is a new product, because that’s a “must buy” price to be sure!
My friend Pete has shared one of his best posts yet, highlighting some of the wackiest products that used to be for sale – with hilarious ads like this:
Yes, this beer was a advertised as good for both Mother and child!
This is just the tip of the iceberg and you must click on Pete’s story here to see many more hilarious examples of advertising from the past – bravo Pete!
I have shared some funny ads from my past as well, like this classic one from Seattle, for a restaurant that served crab legs:
“We’ve Got Crab Legs….Sea Galley!”
It was hugely successful and the ads were funny too!

And what about this series of ads for Seattle’s legendary Rainier beer?
The “Running Of The Rainiers!”
Yes, the ads depicted wild Rainier beers roaming the mountains around Seattle, and they even enlisted Mickey Rooney to capture them!
This campaign culminated in TV ads with Mickey chasing after the beers…click here to see them, they are great!
