They USED to say: Give babies cola

Posted by Brett Singer at 6:45 AM on September 18, 2008

We all know that, on occasion, advertisements can offer some fairly crappy advice. Back in the day, though, ads had no shame.

Here's a great example: "For a better start in life, start COLA earlier!"

Why give your kids cola? Well, according to the ad, it "Promotes Active Lifestyle!" And also "Boosts Personality!" Plus, it "Gives body essential sugars!" (Well-written piece, don't you think?)

ESSENTIAL SUGARS. Love it.

Do you let your kids drink soda? What age did you give it to them?
