I love how they're boasting "You can't taste the liquor, only the orange juice." Know how else you could make sure you don't taste the vodka? Just drink orange juice. Seriously, if you can't taste it what's the point? #vintageads
@netfe: It seems like a bad long-term marketing strategy to me. "Smirnoff: The Vodka You Can't Taste!" This branding would make it difficult later to extol the smooth, high quality taste of the drink in any subsequent ads, which I'm sure they realized they would want to do...
Then again, Marlborough cigarettes used to be marketed to women and their slogan was "Mild as May." #vintageads
@wtfox?!: Vomiting screwdrivers can definitely change your mind about that. I made poor choices as a teenager and ruined screwdrivers forever. #vintageads
@DuckDuckGoose: I will drink pretty much anything you put in front of me (except for gin... bad, bad experiences with gin), but screwdrivers have a special place in my heart. #vintageads
@laetitiae: Hey, the kidneys are much more temperamental...livers take considerably more time and damage to really become a problem. I follow your logic. #vintageads
My MacBook just died this week, so I'm going to be sending out 'a Call' then checking under my couch cushions. I'm counting on you, Academy of Mystic Arts. #witchywoman
I can't wait until my next high school reunion, when I can impress everyone with the fact that I'm a proud graduate of The Academy of Mystic Arts. Take that Ivy Leaguers! #witchywoman
I love how some of the testimonials are about getting jobs. I'm sure The Academy of Mystic Arts would be an interesting listing under 'Education' on a resume, total icebreaker in an interview.
First off, that woman looks absolutely psycho. Like Joan Crawford carving the PERFEECT PUMPKIN IT MUST BE PERFECT OR WE WILL ALL DIE.
Second, does Band-Aid make an eyeball bandage? I was making roasted butternut squash soup the other day, dropped my container of ginger into the soup, and got a faceful of red-hot, albeit delicious, roasted butternut squash soup. My right eye socket is a lovely shade of pink. #vintageads

Do you think they let the grandkids look at scrapbooks?
"Nana? How come you aren't wearing pants and you are sitting by a very phallic cannon?" #vintageads

When I read 'The Great Gatsby' as a young teen I decieded then and there that Gin and Tonic would be my drink.
I'm working on calling people 'Old Sport'. It doesn't roll off the tongue.
Gin and Tonic. Extra Lime. KICK ASS. #vintageads
