This ad from the forties predated any attempt at truth in advertising. The text is a little hard to read, it says: HOW SOON IS TOO SOON?
Not soon enough. Laboratory tests over the last few years have proven that babies who start drinking soda during the 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 regimen of soda and other sugary carbonated beverages right now for a lifetime of guaranteed happiness. THE SODA POP BOARD OF AMERICA

Next to the bottle of cola, it says: Promotes active lifestyle, Boosts personality, Gives body essential sugars.

Holy mackarel, Besides rotting all the childs teeth before he's old enough to drive, he's a caffeine junkie before he's in school. Luckily our mother's were too smart for stupid ads like this.

I received this in my email this morning. The sender knows, of course, that I can afford to own this little beauty but, of course again, am too egalitarian to drive anything so flashy. hahahahahahahaha, joking of course of course of course. But this is really so cool, or should I say sexy? I can't get all the slang straight.
