Different and glorious
Truly uproarious
Lovely swank wrinkle-proof tie
Amaze all your friends
With the means and the ends
Of your quest to become a cool guy.
Amazing, spectacular
Glowing vernacular
Questioning yes no or maybe:
You’re a guy who thinks girls
Adore glow-in-dark churls
And appreciate being called “baby.”
This tie is so bold
Leaping into the fold
Of what guys think no girl can resist:
Glowing letters appear
But the “me” is unclear:
Is the guy or the tie to be kissed?
Either way, it’s a No.
Any girl will say so,
But here is some wonderful news:
The most tacky of ties
Distracts even sharp eyes
From the hideous state of your shoes.
Another fabulous find from Chicago, Popular Science, March 1945.
Every time I start to type something about this product I find myself without words to use.But I am curious about kissing in dark crowds. Do they mean like at a movie theater? Or an orgy….?
'A classy tie by day', lol, how very 'James Bond' of it.Hmmmm… I wonder if the ladies would blush at the glow in the dark message on my underwear?
The use of the word "pulsing" in this ad makes me a little ill. I can't explain it…just, yuck.
There's only one word for this tie. Cheesy.
*gag*
Yup, yup – high class tie…:)
Now THAT is sexy.
Ah, another bit of neckwear meant to be used as girl bait! Boy, the public was sadly misinformed back then.
Tori – I'm not sure that they thought that statement out.Eric – Somehow I don't see James Bond wearing one of these…kathcom – Yuck is right.Hairball – Yes, absolutely. This is one cheestastic ad!Meghann – Yes indeed.Grace – Aimed no doubt at high-class guys.Heather – LOL!GoRetroGirl – The people who made this thing definitely were, too.
oh my, tacky LOL
This is so cool! My husband could really use one.
Seems like instant birth control to me. I would be screaming in terror.
Amy – It certainly is!Stacie – LOL!Alicia – I think it really would be quite startling in person!
What's a 'Dark Baby'???Nevermind.
Bill – Oh dear, I didn't see that…
I think the key to this ad is the first two words: "Men! Boys!"And right after the words "SEND NO MONEY" and "FREE TRIAL OFFER" it says "on arrival pay postman only $1.49 plus postage". So it's not exactly free, this trial offer, is it? Or is the free portion of the trial offer the time that elapses between when you order it and when it arrives?Hmmmm….
