"There's A Man-Sized Feeling Of Power In Smoking A Cigar…"
How exactly does it "bring out the caveman"? Why is she the one in a Jungle Jane ensemble? And aren't the club and the cigar phallic symbols? So many questions. [Vintage Ads] -

Nancy Sinatra Takes Us On A Mad, Mad Trip Through The World Of RC Cola
In this swingin' commercial from 1967, Nancy Sinatra dances around in silk pajamas and sings about the greatness of RC Cola, which apparently tastes great in a wine glass (who knew?). Do you think Don Draper would approve? [VintageAds] -
