Annoying TV ads part 15

[1STMP]

I was just thinking about the differences in ad content from when I was growing up to the ads of today.
In the 70s, we had ads featuring Morris the cat, Mr Whipple advising people Don't squeeze the Charmin, Ads for Bayer aspirin, Bufferin, All-Tempa-Cheer, Tide, McDonalds and Burger King, Beer ads but......NO ads for prescription drugs.
Do any of you remember ads for that crap?

Nope, but you left out a few....
Teryton- I'd rather fight than switch
Alka-Seltzer-Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz
Cal Worthington (no explaination
necessary)
Earl Shibe-I'll paint any car for $49.95
Smokey The Bear-Only you can
prevent forest fires.
Walt Disney
Also commercials for Slinky,
Silly Putty, and Hot Wheels, and let's
not forget the Schwinn Stingwray at
the top of every kids wish list.
Though, as a kid, I don't remember
any of these being particually
annoying, I'm sure they grated on
my parents' nerves.
It just goes to show how far we've
strayed from family values.
Just compare cartoons from then
'till now. I've not watched a single
episode of Sponge Bob....
