This CAN ’ T be SERIOUS !
The ad below recently caught our eye . It looks like an ad from the 50s that touts the health benefits of babies drinking cola . We couldn ’ t believe what we read when first seeing this . Take a look at the ad , then read below for the rest of the story .

This ad isn ' t real . It ' s just a very successful vintage-ad parody created in 2002 by RJ White . Years later he wrote :
“ About seven or eight years ago , I made this fake ad , exhorting parents to give soda to their babies . It was done on a bored afternoon … I whipped it together , posted it to the web , joke over .”
