Fingernail Friendly Oven

Turn up the heat in your kitchen! During the 1970s Sears came out with a self-cleaning oven. And, even though stove technology has radically improved over the years, the advert speaks for itself. Again, women are only recognized as housewives especially with cooking and cleaning. Quite controversial to say the least!

Jade East Aftershave

Aftershave is not as commonly used today compared to its popularity back in the day. This advert for Jade East’s Aftershave encourages men to physically go out and buy it for themselves, as opposed to assigning their wives to do it for them.  Because their aftershave was just that amazing. Don’t you think there is a serious, sleazy undertone here?
