Adverts From History That Definitely Wouldn’t Be Approved Today

That’s A Spankin’

This is such a provocative advert for coffee, it makes you think that marketing executives had probably had too much of their product when they greenlit this. The idea that a husband could spank his wife for buying the wrong coffee shows how dangerous the marriage dynamic was in the past.

Thankfully, Chase and Sanborn is here to save your marriage (and life) with their fresh grounds and product. It’s scaremongering to attract young, scared women. Yummy.
