What you'll find here:

This blog is a collection of vintage advertisements, posted Monday through Friday. All ads are scans from magazines in my collection (or those of my friends), so I claim no copyright over them. Remember, these ads are from bygone eras: don't get upset if you see something you don't like, nor excited if you see something you do.

If you particularly like an ad and want a hi-res copy for yourself, email or message me and I can send you one.

Fundador Brandy

Playboy Jan. 1969
     Read the ad text.  Just... just read it.  This must be the Brandy of Knowledge of Good and Evil, based on the story told therein.
Ad Text:
    You raise the snifter to your lips.
    You have barely lived, yet life - you feel - has already passed you by.
    First you sniff, then - finally - you sip.
    Suddenly your nose begins to twitch, your eyes bulge with excitement.
    "What's this?" you exclaim.
    "Fundador" answers the woman. "The brandy from Spain. The brandy made the solera way. The way all Spanish sherry is made."
    "Fascinating" you murmur as the gentle taste of Fundador trickles down your palate, warming, soothing; making you feel like no other imported brandy ever has.
    "Darling" she says looking up into your eyes.
    But you aren't even listening. You are too busy with your Fundador.
    It is then that you first realize your life has just taken on a newer and far greater meaning.
    Fundador: from the world famous house of Pedro Domecq.

WHAT.
Did that man just find the most holy of brandies, the elixir of passion and the potion of purpose?  DID HE JUST FALL IN LOVE WITH ETHANOL?
That liquor can make a man completely disregard what appears to be a quite lovely and beautiful woman in an instant.  This is the most potent draught known to man.
And those cuffs.  Can we consider the cuffs on that shirt?  Do you know how I know this is the 60s?
