Now Then, Now Then.

I found a great site with some old ads. But a few things have changed.

------------------------------------------

THEN:

Soap for 'your precious complexion' at 9d per tablet.

NOW:
It’s compulsory to use deep penetrating, lifting and firming moisturiser with Collagen, Liposomes, Anti ageing serum, pro Retinol, Boswelox, Revitalift, Ceramide and spf 97.

------------------------------------------

THEN:
'An apple a day is the first rule of good health'

NOW:

Cider will guarantee you a seat on the winos’ bench outside Somerfield.

------------------------------------------

THEN:

The Kutnow’s powders ad says ‘Half an hour before breakfast ask your maid to bring you a glass of warm water with about a dessert-spoon full of Kutnow's in it - stir briskly and drink’

NOW:

Sounds just like a laxative to me.
Obviously a favourite with anorexics and bulimics.

------------------------------------------

THEN:
Murphy (an honest chap) likes 'plain speech' not guineas which used to be a trick to make prices sound lower.

NOW:
They never give the price. So you need to shop around on the net for several months.
