1965 Dr. Pepper. Does anyone remember drinking Dr. Pepper as a hot drink?

1965 Chesterfield King Cigarettes. They satisfy! Especially for those who hate those pesky filters filtering out deadly toxins. More toxins please!

1965 Condatina tomato sauce coupon. By today’s standards, 6-cents is nothing but back then it was nothing to sneeze at.

1965 RCA Color Televisions – Jack Benny, Johnny Carson

1965 Schlitz Beer. This is obviously a dude who doesn’t have to clean his own floors.

1965 Tampax. Feminine Hygiene has always been a mystery to me but it much less perplexing than the advertising for it.

1965 Volkswagon. Must admit, I’d love to putter around in one of these. Even if they are deathtraps
