How so? I'm sure plenty of people bought hand guns as a Christmas present back then, probably still do in some parts of the US.

1260341 2012-02-20 23:57:00 I could just imagine the reaction of a woman if you blew smoke in her face these days. Not the best way to impress girls.

These adverts certainly reflect the way times have changed.

Men are better than women ... well we all know THAT !

Nothing wrong with a Hoover for Christmas .... gives SWMBO'd something to fill in the Boxing Day holiday ... :devil:

1260343 2012-02-21 00:14:00 Blardy marketing!

Selling CokaCola for infants still too young to hold a cup! It'll only rot their teeth and strip their young skeleton of minerals. Whats a few broken bones to a newborn anyway?

As for cocaine - it (and particularly derivatives of it) are still used in the mainstream as anaesthetics.

That stuff your dentists shoots into your jaw is Lignocaine.
The optom drops Oxybuprocaine into your eyes.
Your GP has likely stuck you with Amethocaine.

All based on Cocaine.

I've never heard of the stuff being abused, so I assume these variants can't be 'cooked' back to being cocaine, or perhaps not in quantities that make it worth the bother.

1260344 2012-02-21 00:29:00 These days you would not be allowed, by law, to advertise Cola as being good for children. Today's mothers will more than likely buy soft drink for their children because it is cheaper than milk. Bobh (5192)

You answered your own question. The gun ad was normal then and is normal now so it shouldnt be included.
Just like my wife wants to buy new dresses and shoes to feel good I buy a rifle.

Bottled, not from the tap.
My wife and I just got our water bill. $68-ish I think, for a few thousand litres.
1.5L coke @ $1.99ea * 34 bottles = 51 Litres
