1972 BENSON AND HEDGES
I vividly remember these ads with all the silly choices, I'm sure all the winners took the car but it is interesting to see all the choices.

Really odd health products
Back in the late 1800's a demonstration of health and wealth was obesity. Only the rich and successful could afford to eat well enough to be heavyset. Only the wealthy didn't work hard at physical jobs that would burn lots of calories. So heavyset equals success, just like today the phrase is, you can't be too rich or too thin. But some people had a hard time getting fat enough to look like a success, so this odd product was created to fill the gap.
AS FAT AS PIGS!!!! And that was a selling point, how times have changed. Of course this next ad, from 1978, about a diet product is pretty bad also, mostly just because of the unfortunate name of AYDS.
