Ok, there's some "product" out there to give women more energy and sexual desire and, for some unknown reason, Betty Boop is the mascot. They have a pretty thin explanation, somehow linking Betty's "confident, sassy, and carefree" life with this pill. In a sense, I guess it's no more ridiculous than many other pills and the angle their ads take, but this just seems especially stupid. It would be like Bugs Bunny shilling Viagra because he sometimes dresses as a woman and arouses Elmer Fudd.

Hostess Fruit Pies Advertising: Batman and The Corsair of Crime!

Anyone who read comic books in the 1970's or 1980's has got to remember all the Hostess Cupcake, Twinkies, & Fruit Pie ads starring some of their favorite Marvel & DC Superheroes. They ran these all the time & I totally loved them! First, it wasn't like a regular advertisement. They made it look like another page of the comic book to trick you into reading them. Second, they were always such fun because the hero would use Hostess Treats as a way to confuse the criminals. Apparently, if you throw packaged Fruit Pies at crooks or bank robbers their brains just totally short-circuit & they go nuts for the fruit filling! But, I mean, who can blame them? At the time they had Cherry, Apple, & Peach! My personal favorite was Cherry. As a little kid I used to completely love them & I would beg my Mom to buy some at the store, ha ha! ( Be sure to click on the ad up above for a more readable version. You'll be glad you did because it is quite the adventure ).
