“chubettes”? Are you kidding me? Oof
In 1956, 16 was like old made age. Needed to get married ASAP…
Most body positive and least misogynistic 50s ad
Is your daughter on the plump side? She can and should look as pretty as her slim friends.
Not so much. It’s saying she can have a tummy that’s hidden by her clothes and therefore look “yummy.”
The point being that ads from the '50s were so bad and misogynistic that this is actually quite good by comparison.
Why they trying so hard to make kids yummy? 🤨
It costs less to raise her if she is married off at 15, and then you get grandbabies! Win-win for the boomers
You realize the kids would have been the boomers, right?
People under 30 have decided that “boomer” means “person over 50 at any point in history.”
“Chubby” meant a very different thing back then. That’s the fattest girl you’d see out in public. That girl isn’t even fat by today’s standards.
They’d get out the harpoons if they saw the fat people today.
“Honey, you aren’t chubby. Your friends are just really too thin. You are perfectly fine the way you are… Oh! I forgot, I bought you some new clothes, have some Chubbettes…”
Don’t forget… “you’ll look yummy in these new Chubettes!” 🤮
People 👏 are 👏 not 👏 food 👏
What about billionaires?
They’re not people
Body shaming a girl, then said she need a product
