DO YOU REMEMBER ANY OF THESE ADS FROM THE 1970'S!
A co-worker of the Insite brought in an original copy of a 1975 Ebony Magazine. On the cover was the cast of Good Times. When I saw it I flipped because I'm a huge fan of history. But I couldn't prepare myself for the advertisements when I opened the periodical. It was everything from big Afros to Champale being sold to the readers. Here are some of the ads that may jog your historical memory. One of the ads that stuck out for me was the Fanni-Bra. Apparently, it used to make women appear to have bigger buts. I can recall to the mid 1970's when my mother Dollie used to dog out a neighbor. My mom would say that's not her real booty. Dollie would always say she had on a booty bra. Now, I realize exactly what she was talking about because back then I wouldn't dare ask or I'd get smacked. That's before child abuse was recognized. Also, I was excited to see the Flagg Brothers ad. It's where you can get a pin stripped pimp suit for $64.99 or a pair of platform shoes for $24.99. I didn't realize Cadillacs were going for at little as $12,000 brand new back in 1975. And the leisure suit by Lee Jeans will not be outdone. Tell me which ad jogs your memory and what you would buy if you could today!
Do they even sale champale anymore. The thing I always remember is Chivas Regal bottle it always said 12 years old on it. I use to wonder man does it always stay 12 years old.
ReplyDeleteNow a day woman don't need a butt bra. that was too funny. and How did my sister ever make cupcakes with that light bulb in the ez bake oven.
I remember Champale from my high school days. The girls always ordered that, particularly later when Pink Champale came out.
ReplyDeleteBrothers who ordered out of Flagg Bros. were waring THE name brand of the time. That was hot stuff ack then.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad us white folk weren't the only ones who looked stupid back in the day.
