The advertisements showed here from the 50's and 60's, really surprised me. Some of the ads then, had good concepts in showcasing the product, but from the look of these ads, I ask "Were They Joking?"
EAT! EAT! EAT! & ALWAYS STAY THIN!:
This advertisement is very strange in my opinion. How can you be thin, if you keep eating and eating and eating? That's what their trying to say in the advertisment. The main point in the ad is telling us to eat tape worms, so when they go into your system, the tape worms will eat all your fat and food. I find this so discusting!
Blow in her face, and she'll follow you anywhere :
In this ad, they are saying how, if you smoke a "Tipelet" it would be great! This right here is wrong, since when did smoking become good? It's weird how people are making ads like these, and to make it more better for the buyers... They advertise more colours and kinds for the Tipelet. Not good at all!
More Doctors Smoke CAMELS than any other cigarette:
Wow! This advertisment really makes me laugh, how can they advertise saying, DOCTORS find smoking good and to choose camels instead of any other cigarrette. First of all, Yes people smoke and yes they would probally use these "camels" but why would they use a doctor as an example? Doctor's are all about keeping your heart healthy, and staying fit! I don't think doctors would really want people to smoke.
They're happy Because they eat LARD:
It's odd to advertise saying people like LARD. I think companies said this, because they want buyers to buy their fatty foods and put in your mind that, if you eat these fatty and lard foods, you will be happy.. Just like the family in the advertisement.

Back in the 50's and 60's cigarettes, staying a thin as possible (by any means necessary) and eating LARD was very popular. I agree with you when you say that the way they chose to advertise these products was done effectively, for their time. But you contradict yourself. An example being the camel advertisement and your reaction towards it. You have to remember that this ad was done years before our society started to realize that smoking was the main cause of general health problems and the number one reason for death by cancer. In that day and age, smoking was as popular as walking was. Every where you turned, celebrities endorsed it, by putting a doctor on the ad and stating that more and more of them smoke that brand on cigarettes, it leaves the consumer thinking, "huh.. cigarettes doctors smoke? MUST BE GOOD" your opinion reflects our day and age, not theirs. But I completely agree, what happened to those people to make them think that any of these things were actually GOOD -.- JEEZE
ReplyDeleteI totally agrre with above person. Peopple in the 50's did not rerally know the effect ciggerettes could have on people. I think this unknowledge led to our society today have the problem with obessity, and cancer, etc. I remember a joke about one of the states in the US. This person goes to a restruant, normally people will ask smoking or non-smoking section, this attendant asked do you wanna be in the smoking section or the heavy smoking section.
