Love all of those!

Some more classic ads.

"Cold cereal; gee...thanks..."

To be fair I don't see any Oat Bran or Shredded Wheat.

I don't recall any of those ads. I wonder what decade they're from?

I don't think giving out breakfast cereal ever caught on, lol.

Almost as bad as tooth care items.

Most of the ads are from the 50s-60s, here are a few more.

How do you put cake in a Trick or treat bag?!

Lol. I guess, like today, they were thinking some people would give parties.

I imagine most of those ads showed up in print, women's magazines, etc. I wasn't reading those things in those days, so I likely didn't see them. I was more likely to see tv ads.

I think it would be fun to get cake frosting as a treat, I guess in those days it would have been in packets instead of the Betty Crocker cans that I grew up with, I used to eat frosting straight from the can when I was a kid, but I couldn't do that today because the levels of sugar would kill me.

Most of the ads I'm posting are from various magazines, some of the file names of the pictures will tell you when and where they are from. Here are some more.

There are more ads above this post.

Some unusual products here, cigars, cigarettes, and hairspray.

Are these ads sexy or creepy? you decide.

Candy, toothpaste and shoe polish.
