Now that's a spicia meatball!
P.S. Yeah, I remember them all.
When I was young I still recall. “Geritol is famous for a controversial 1972 television commercial tag line, “My wife, I think I’ll keep her.”[6] This line, brought out during the height of the Women’s Liberation Movement, was not appreciated by some women and was lambasted by news and comedy shows alike. “https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geritol
Except for the Aunt Jemima ad I have never seen any of them.
Goofy Grape, Injun Orange, Freckle-Face Strawberry, Chinese Cherry, Loud-Mouth Lime, Rootin'-Tootin' Raspberry
I remember when I was 3 or 4 and looking out the back window when we were on a family vacation. We were on a back woods road and there was a huge billboard. I saw the back of the billboard there was a naked lady laying on her side whole holding a bottle of liquor. Now I realize that the ad was one only to be seen by men as women didn’t drive and the ad was only visible in a rear view mirror. And by little girls looking out the back window.
Saw a new ad for an electric shaver yesterday where the man is in the bathroom getting ready to shave and a woman hip-checks him out of the way while giving him a nasty look. He smiles like an idiot and goes elsewhere to shave. He later goes back to the bathroom and gives her a playful and much gentler hip check than he received.
I was watching an old coke commercial from the 50s the other day with a friend and he pointed out the sexism. The girl sucked it up with a straw and the guy lapped it out of the glass. It was so blatant! I would have never saw it!
Saw nothing wrong with the first 2. Didn’t look at the rest.
Now that's a spicia meatball!
I recall some of these ads when they first appeared—they seemed weird then, too. The people who design ads, then and now, are not representative of general society.

The good old days.
Reveals this horrible, wildly PC age as being even more horrible.
