9 Definitely Outdated (aka Vintage) Thanksgiving Ads

Christmas is all about giving and getting presents, Halloween is the diabetes of all holidays with all the candies and chocolate bars you get trick-or-treating, and… Thanksgiving? What is it about? And don’t tell me it’s “quality family time”, because according to some vintage ads Thanksgiving is all about smoking, drinking beer, and eating mayonnaise with everything.

1. I ain’t reading all that nonsense, but if you advertise smokes as Thanksgiving tradition, you’re probably like 80 years old.

2. Hellmann’s mayo is awesome, don’t get me wrong, but I’d rather not find out what this “surprise” is.

3. I’d really want to see this turkey “live”, but, meh, olive somehow. (screw you, that’s a great pun!)
