17 Ads That Reveal How Weird The 1950s Were - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Advertising has always had a talent for making everyday life look a little stranger than it really is. In the 1950s, that talent was on full display. Companies made some pretty bold assumptions about what families wanted, how people should behave, and which new products were supposedly about to change everything.
