How recently have you seen an advertisement that made you cringe? Some of the advertisements you’ll see here would never be allowed in this day and age. So, if you think commercials these days are nothing to write home about, brace yourself for some old-fashioned ads that will make your skin crawl!
You Should Keep Them Close To Your Feet
If there was ever an advertisement that represented misogynistic mentality, this is it. The idea behind this commercial was undoubtedly to present a woman who was so taken with the man’s choice of shoe that she couldn’t take her gaze away from it. While that is all well and good (albeit it does demonstrate a lack of imagination), the phrase is clearly misogynistic. The tagline “Keep her where she belongs” has nothing to do with selling the product and can only be interpreted to mean that women should always be at a man’s feet. Though we have come a long way since these types of advertisements were widespread, we still have a long way to go.

Avoid Mental Overload
Though new items are introduced on a daily basis, there is a handful that has stood the test of time. Even though they may have had to change their marketing techniques and branding, those products are still household staples around the world. Surprisingly, Coca-initial Cola’s advertising campaign has radically altered its strategy. Even though Coca-Cola is one of the most well-known brands today, when it was launched in the 1890s, it was touted as a “Brain Tonic.” According to the advertisement, the beverage could ease headaches and cure mental and physical weariness.
