This Online Group Shares 50 Funny And Weird Vintage Ads And Most Of Them Hilariously Failed The Test Of Time

With a very astute message. Racists ARE un-American! They’re absolutely against what this country is all about. The Melting Pot. “Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free”. Scratch the surface of any American, and you’ll find out we are ALL immigrants, or descendants of immigrants. That technically includes Native Americans too. They may have been here first, but they came here from somewhere else, so are immigrants as well—-through being here first should’ve meant they had first dibs on the land they wanted. We did them really dirty—-talk about racism!—-and as a white person, I am ashamed and apologize. Sincerely apologizing and taking steps to make it right IS the American thing to do.

As an illegal(?) alien maybe Superman knew what he was talking about so he draped himself in red and blue to adopt the American way because he was in danger where he came from. 🙄

Because a lot of the country seems to be exactly what the poster is against. Hopefully it's just a vocal minority, but it doesn't feel that way. It is a message that should've passed the test of time. It's sad it didn't.

(Btw the plural of LEGO is LEGO)

My kids are playing with my and my husband’s old sets mixed in with their adult cousins sets and theirs. Can’t tell the difference between.

I love LEGO too; I played with my daughter and her cousins when they were kids, and now collect Harry Potter LEGO for myself. I'm now a 64-year-old grandmother, and my daughter and I are looking forward to playing LEGO with my 13-month-old grandson. We have just started buying a couple of Duplo sets for him. My nephew and his 10-year-old son have been building LEGO together for years, and even stayed at Tokyo LEGOland when my great-nephew was only 6!

Wow, I envy you!

well that changed over the years, idk how old you are but i am 18 and when i played with lego you could already feel the deprevity of the company, overpriced, ridiculously small amount of parts and overall less love in the sets, just pushing out whatever copyrighted stuff they can get their hands on

Agree. A girl in trousers holding up a self-made LEGO-brick house, what nowadays would not be considered 'girls' bricks, because they are not pink. Love this advertise!

Headline said "most" of the examples failed the test of time, not all of them. I think Bored Pandas have been promoting the ones that were spot on.

Pink LEGO for everybody 💕

Why not both classic colors and new colors?

Bloody Mary perhaps, trying to push out vodka? 🤔

Bloody Maria (not Mary, as that’s made with vodka). It’s an actual mixed drink, look it up if you don’t believe me.

Well I was going to volunteer "Bloody Nora", Mary's sister.

Cubanita

Thanks for the answers everyone. I think I'll pass on a Bloody Mary with rum instead of vodka, tho'.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Bloody Mary uses tomatoes

A Cubanita.

A gross one

Yeah, have I been missing out???

Tomato juice

Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary - actually tomato juice, not fresh tomatoes.

A Bloddy Mary made with Rum...mmm

The Mattachine Society was one of the earliest gay rights groups in the USA so it makes sense that this would be an ad from them. Unfortunately they've often become forgotten about as part of their mandate was members had to present more traditionally (women in skirts or dresses, men with short hair in suits) - because part of their belief was that by integrating with "regular" society they could demonstrate that gay people weren't hedonistic p*dos - so they fell out of favour by the late 1960s when the idea of being who you want to/identifying or looking how you want to became much more prevalent in the LGBT+ community.

Still is by a lot of people's standing!

Too bad the USA seems to be going backwards in time.

I don't think they were ahead of their time - I think you meant that we as a society is going backwards, destroying things that were built for the good.

Ty! Happy pride to you as well :)
