7up (1960s)
Way back before we knew the truth about just how unhealthy soda is for us, beverage companies were able to tell us that drinking soda before partaking in physical activities is actually akin to having an energy drink. Not that energy drinks are any better for you, but we digress. Another bizarre feature of this ad is the fact that the girl is standing in such a strange way.

Marilyn Monroe Firework Safety Ad (1950s)
Perhaps in the 1950’s the thought process that the only way men would listen to any sort of firework safety ad would be by including a pretty lady in it, and back then, who else would you choose for this role but Marilyn Monroe? We hope that at least the ad worked and people were careful with fireworks during Independence Day.
