I don't think fake joke ads count as vintage.

About seven or eight years ago, I made this fake ad, exhorting parents to give soda to their babies. It was done on a bored afternoon when J.D. Ryznar asked for someone to make that very specific thing on his livejournal. I whipped it together, posted it to the web, joke over.

THEN. A couple of years later- it started showing up online, in those weird lists that pop up every so often with a “Oh man, ads sure were strange back then, weren’t they?” theme. Thing is, those ads are largely real and mine is not and very obviously so.

Hahaha the previous generation was so stupid.

Anyways, youtube for kids, and Instagram for kids, and tiktok for kids. Buy your kids a phone to keep them safe, what if someone steals them? Let them have unlimited access to our dopamine drip! For vim and vigor, when’s too young for social media, our scienticians say no age is too young.
