    He looks like he's making a Groucho Marx joke: "I'd like to join a club and beat you over the head with it! Wokka wokka!" (With a little Fozzie Bear thrown in for good measure.)

    I smoke cigs, those just make me feel like a fancy French person.
    But I guess "bring out the Frenchman in you" doesn't sound quite as cool.

    I like all the horned animals in the background. Just in case you forget that, you know, there's a penis.

    Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

    And sometimes, it's a penis.

    I'm just glad to see some black people in an ad from this era and it's not for malt liquor.

    They look like extras from "Happy Days."

    Wait. I don't think there were any black people on that show. #vintageads

    This is a really effective ad though. I'd love to be drinking a float while wearing a pretty dress in the sunshine surrounded by handsome men right now, even if I had to make theirs first. #vintageads

    @Katxyz: It's so glamorous. And I love the part about "his favorite ice cream" implying that you happen to have a varied stockpile in the freezer. "Oh, the rum raisin is just in case Kissinger drops by." #vintageads

    It feels like the ad is some instruction manual - especially with the italicizing of 'his.' It seems as if this is an entirely new concept and they have to be very clear in how to think of others instead of yourself when making food. #vintageads

    @Elaken: I think the italicized 'his' implies the boy you have a crush on.

    Like, imagine someone saying the word 'his' with italics in their mouth. It's like a verbal nudge-nudge.

    @♥AntiSocialSocialite♥: I think it is against the rules technically, but I really like your blog! I think it's been said before on a very different post, but we never see much historical representation of non-whites living their daily lives and existing normally in society, as if non white people in the U.S previously only existed when interacting with white people or experiencing some sort of tragedy.

    I hope that makes sense, I've had some wine.

    Alright, Kelis. Stop it with the milkshakes alright. I betcha those dudes are "all like, 'it's better than yours'." And I could also Kelis how she did it, but then she'd "have to charge". #vintageads
