Adverts From History That Definitely Wouldn’t Be Approved Today

Cocaine Toothache Drops

If The Weeknd is to believed, it is true that you ‘Can’t Feel Your Face’ when experimenting with Cocaine. It probably made sense, then, for this company to capitalize on the addictive drug to help sell toothache medicine.

The face-numbing drops would be sold for a shockingly cheap 15 cents to children to help them sooth the pain of toothaches. This advert would be swiftly pulled and Cocaine would be outlawed, paving the way for it to become the world’s favorite party drug instead.
