Thought I'd share this ... Blatz used to be a major brand in the Midwest! WOW!

Too funny. How times have changed for sure. Used to work with a guy from Wisconsin that drank that stuff like it was Koolaid. Get Blitzed on Blatz!

Wow. Just, wow.

I had a bottle of beer from the Fred B Miller Brewing Company that was corked. It said something along the lines of "Highly recommended by prominent physicians for nursing mothers" I should have kept it but I gave it to my step sister who collected antiques.

Wow. Just, wow.

What, man? You're not buying it?

What happened to the Surgeon General? I remember adds for Kool cigarettes that recommended Kools if you had a cold and there were supposed doctors in the add. The ad line used to go, "Got a cold? Smoke Kools."

Interesting. I have some old blatz beer bottles that are about 100 years old.

The Surgeon General died this last year Rocky.
Here are a bunch more of that type ad- like Mrs. Winslows's soothing syrup, with 65 mg morphine- guaranteed to quiet the teething baby.

Or maybe some Asthma cigarettes!

I remember when my kids were young you could buy robitisen cough syrup with codeine over the counter. Now a days your not allowed to give babies water. Times have changed.
