Shockingly offensive vintage adverts that would be banned today...

It's crazy looking back at how offensive some of the old vintage adverts ere. There's no way companies could get away with those ad campaigns these days.

In the Pre-Civil Rights era, major brands like Kellogg's featured sexist slogans, like "The Harder A Wife Works, The Cuter She Looks." While other companies promoted utter bollocks like fizzy drinks being healthy for you baby. 7-Up told moms to add the soda to their babies' milk. The also marketed Camel cigarettes as "the doctor's favorite brand." Yikes!

Here are some of the most offensive adverts I came across, they're pretty horrendous!

Shocking right? It makes me wonder how my future grandkids will view the adverts of today.
