Kelloggs (1930s)

In the 1930’s, Kelloggs took a stab at selling some vitamins.

We’re glad things have moved away from this type of marketing.

Toothache Drops (1885)

Back in 1885, not only was cocaine totally legal, it was even being advertised as a toothache drop that you could stop by your local pharmacy to purchase. There’s even an illustration of some kids on the cocaine ad. We now know that the side effects are quite dangerous.
