"Mod Scientist", how great is that? How has that not been used, like a ton, for like a ton of Mod guys. Also Vonnegut.

Mod Scientist
"Mod Scientist", how great is that? How has that not been used, like a ton, for like a ton of Mod guys. Also Vonnegut.
Maple Walnut
She'll fight to the end for capitalism. I love it when they put ads for capitalism in things you buy.
Free Sex
That title alone is going to get me tons of hits. Also, it's never been difficult for attractive young things to get together banging. I say this because I was thinking, "Man, I wish that free sex thing was around today! I would love youth orgies in student apartments." Then I realized "They still do that. They just don't call you fatty."
When There's No Man Around...
I thought this was just one random ad, the first time I came across it in a 1950s mag, but now I'm starting to see that this was actually their slogan, for years.
Mighty Mom
If the mom of 1965 used twice as much energy as her mom, how much energy does the mom of today use? Also, they've apparently been using the whole "You're a mom, you're amazing, wow, go you" line of advertising for friggan ever.
Shaggy Dog
For some reason I don't mind Celebs doing Pipe Tobacco commercials as much as I do cigarettes.

Massachusetts Sucks
I've long been a Massachusetts booster (and a California detractor), but damn, look at this one two punch of suck. Also, do you think there's a bunch of swears edited out of Eugene O'Neill's statement?
New Weapon
You don't see ads for new weapons anymore. Not in TIME magazine at least. Unless you count politics as a weapon...THE ULTIMATE WEAPON!
SUPERSONIC SUPREMACY
And they have a plan. It's called "SUPERSONIC SUPREMACY". God. What a time to be alive. What a time to be a fucking reader of TIME magazine! It's like, you're in the waiting room at the dentist and you pick it up, "Oh, 'Supersonic Supremacy', that sounds great! That'll show those commies!". It was a simpler time to be sure but at the same time, man, we never see ads for supersonic supremacy, just new reality tv shows showing washed up 80s singers.
Where There's Life
Does anyone else find this ad completely bizarre? It's like, "Budweiser lists it's ingredients on the side. Not that that's something you really cared about, but now that we mention it, don't you like it? Oh and were not going to list the ingredients here, because, that would make sense."

THEM
Another example of who TIME magazine's reading demographic was in the 1950s. The bosses baby, the bosses.
Operation Big Switch
You know, in case of atomic attack. ADs like this give one a better insight into the fucked up mind of the American in the '50s. Helps you understand where old people are coming from. Literally, their magazines were full of advertisements just off-the-cuff about nuclear holocaust, almost saying "Hey, when it comes, which it will, we'll be there to help!".
Double Trouble
Ah. The Golden Years. When Oil Companies and Tobacco Companies could share adspace with pride.
