There is not enough WTF in the world for this.


Before there was Summer's Eve, there was...



Again I say: D: D: D:

I mean seriously, anything that strongly suggests you use rubber gloves while applying it to various surfaces should probably not be put inside you. For all I know, Lysol might be a great feminine hygeine product, but still, what's next? Shaving your legs with a straight razor? *cringes*

And then there's this, which makes me so so happy I'm alive right now:



Just... no. No thank you. I like to think the woman's thinking, "Vitamins, and also the fact that soon I will kill you, bury you with quicklime, and run off to Tijuana."

I don't have dates (the ads were just emailed to me by a friend who likes to see me writhe in horror), but from the info. I've looked up, the Lysol one is likely from the 1940s--there is a whole slew of them at MUM (http://www.mum.org/lysolpre.htm) (there are some other pages as well, including ads from 1948 (http://www.mum.org/Lysol48.htm) and 1928 (http://www.mum.org/lysol1.htm), and someone has a Flickr account with a Gallery of Horror (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrbill/sets/834100/)). The Kellogg's PEP ad is probably from the 30s or 40s as well... I couldn't track down a trustworthy source; the only one I could find with a date was the Daily Mail (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=496827&in_pa), which only says "1930s."
