Welcome to My, How Things Have Changed: Unplugged! In this episode, Ashley and Deanna take a trip back in time to revisit what marketing was like in a different time — warning, it was a shocking reminder.
We dig into vintage ads that would never fly today, from misogynistic taglines to babies drinking soda and shaving (yes, really), to airlines bragging about rejecting female stewardesses who don't fit their "standards”
Some of it is shocking, some hilarious in hindsight (we laugh so we don't cry), and all of it shows just how far marketing—and society—has come. With the caveat, we still have a long way to go.
🎧 Tune in for a mix of cringe, commentary, and perspective as we unpack the ads of yesterday through today’s lens.
