Sexist Hawaiian Punch ad, 1969

Our old friend Punchy, usually seen decking the hapless Oaf in the Hawaiian Punch TV commercials of the sixties and seventies, smacks a woman on the butt to encourage her to shed those extra holiday pounds by drinking Low Calorie Hawaiian Punch. Most likely this product contained cyclamate, an artificial sweetener banned by the US Food and Drug Administration later that year.

 

This ad ran in the January 4, 1969 edition of TV Guide (right after the holidays). Coupon expired December 31, 1969, so don't bother cutting it out and taking it to your local store.
