A IS FOR ADVERTISEMENTS
The products they tout may have been off the shelves for decades, but vintage ads and TV commercials live on online. Ads designed in the mid- to late-nineteenth century to promote the “healthful” effects of new products gave way to those aimed at convincing housewives to save time by purchasing “instant” and “processed” foods; by the middle of the last century, familiar faces such as Tony the Tiger and Ronald McDonald appealed directly to children, and now, advertising directed at kids is a multi-billion-dollar industry.
