I'm glad the Soda Pop Board of America has always been so concerned about our children's future. (imgur.com)

A fake ad is not WTF material.
[–]EhEmWhy 39 points40 points41 points 4 months ago
Why do people actually think this is real? Its obviously fake and a quick google search can tell you that.
[–]knowses[S] 4 points5 points6 points 4 months ago
After reading this comment, I have researched the source (which I should have done earlier). It appears this "Ad" was created as an April Fool's joke for a site called The City Desk (Fictional Urbanism) by RJ White. I was not aware of this when I posted. It really does not belong here, and I do not deserve the Karma I have recieved. I am shamed before you.
[–]Pandaseatflames 12 points13 points14 points 4 months ago
If you truely are that remorseful, then why haven't you deleted the post?
[–]sin069 15 points16 points17 points 4 months ago
Because he enjoys the karma
[–]SWI7Z3R 1 point2 points3 points 4 months ago
Because deleting the above comment thread prevents people from learning to not make this mistake again. Deleting it serves no one.

I don't care if it's fake or not as long as I know which it is, that's why I always check the comments, thanks for the confirmation.
It came at a good time, didn't it?

There are ads for sugar from the 60's that are pretty funny. Fuck, a lot of ads from the 60's are pretty ridiculous.

Too bad the "Soda Pop Board of America" no longer exists. I have heard rumors that Congress is willing to sell their souls for the right price!
They could have gotten a few laws in Congress passed that mandated school children be given Coca Cola and Pepsi during their lunch breaks.
Fake or not, this appears to be set back when a chief ingredient in Coke a Cola was cocaine..... that explains everything

Soda Pop
ಠ_ಠ
[–]Bitcheslovebabies 1 point2 points3 points 4 months ago
Fake or not, I see so many parents allowing their children to have pop as early as 5 months and I wanna slap them all! Im sorry but im not allowing my Childs teeth to rot before he has them all and not to mention obesity and diabetes risks, diabetes runs in my family major so hes already predisposed to it. Im happy to say that my son who turns two today has never been allowed pop and won't be for a long time, no use in starting bad habits so early, I treat pop as alcohol with my son, can't have it till a certain age and even then in moderation.
[–]WhysKrakaa 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
it dont matter Bitches..if your kids teefus get rotten before 5 or 6 yr old, because they are baby teeth. just hollow shells like popcorn husks. they fall out , no harm done. it's the permanent teeth you wanna protect. I laugh my ass off when people tell me they pay for crowns fgs for their 4 yr olds, on friggin baby teeth !(now you can slap me, just dont bitch-slap me)
[–]Bitcheslovebabies 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
It does matter, you can ruin your adult teeth whilst still having baby teeth. And I would never do dental work on a child that still has baby teeth unless absolutely needed, that's crazy. I shall not slap you either, im that nice.
[–]Bacon_Generator 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago
No wonder there is so much about bullying now. People are not letting their children drink soda anymore.
[–]mocodity 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago
Isn't it kinda true though? I can't imagine what kind of outcast I would have been if I didn't drink pop as a pre-teen.

Heroin, puts a smile on the crankiest baby's face!

90% of those babies are now old people with diabetus.
[–]kooroo 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago
first, pretty sure it's fake.
second, you have to understand that soda pop used to be believed to have ALL kinds of medicinal benefits. It's like all the garbage we believe ginseng, gingko, ecinacea, and the like can do. It was to the extent that we had blue laws outlawing the sale of carbonated beverages on sundays. It's a common explanation for the term "ice cream sundae' actually. Soda shops could not sell soda on sundays so they served ice cream instead.

Don't wanna be a SAP? Drink soda everyday for a guaranteed life of fitting in.

Did you get this from the Ellen show? Just saw that ad, lol!
[–]gloomdoom -4 points-3 points-2 points 4 months ago
This is before corporations and lobbyists realized that they need to hide in the dark and only come out at night to do their dirty work. Pretty ballsy for them to do that in the light of day.
Not that people are any smarter now than they were back when but I guess if you're trying to maintain this idea that you're for children's health and the betterment of society, you just want to highlight the positive things you do. Whatever those are.
