Old adverts might have been creative, but not entirely ethical:

I would never stick my hands in any kind of dishwashing liquid because I cannot stand the feel of it.
But I remember my mom buying pale green bars of Palmolive soap to wash with in the bathtub.

I looked up Palmolive-Colgate products on Wiki and learned they used to sell a snack in the mid-70s called Bambeanos. They were whole roasted and flavored soybeans. They soon discontinued it after it rapidly gained a reputation for causing excessive flatulence.

Oh, yes. Here is the key to a tactful and sophisticated shopping countenance, about eighty years too late. Illustrates that the same standards over which people will stare at you like you have three heads are entirely fickle and drift around every decade, but people act like you broke a law of physics.

I remember this one from my childhood when we recorded Mary Poppins off the TV one Christmas - with this been one of the adverts. I might see if I can find some of the others later:

Everything used to be so much cheaper back then. Nothing will ever be that affordable again. I once found a news story where a gas station manager in California was fired after mistakenly setting gas prices at .69/gallon. Reminds me of how affordable items were back then
