Bad advertising, vintage style. Sheesh.

It was my favorite soft drink as a child (and we didn't get it very often in our house, it was a special occasion thing), and I still drink Diet 7-Up more often now than any other soft drink. But, really now, people - I think we all know THIS is not a good idea! Cute picture in this advertisement from 1955, - but not a good idea:

These ads are hilarious, but only in the fact that they didn't realize how WRONG they were! What WERE they thinking?! Twyla
Very funny. Love T
