Excessive Secretions

What are these secretions, and how much does it take to officially classify as excessive amounts?

Portmanteau of “NUCLEAR LATEX” is my guess, but I think “nuclear” was technical jargon at the time.

The wording of “put through special processes to grain greater sensitiveness” makes me think of the condom becoming empathetic and painting watercolours. Surely you want the genitals to be more sensitive, not the prophylactic.

These days, the condoms say 'electronically tested' and I can't help but think that means they've been tested by two robots loving.

Wait, I get the dyes and magic suppositories as Radium products, but wouldn't Radium burn holes in the latex? Presumably also your DNA, your partner's DNA, and the DNA of your germ cells, but most pressing for the very concept of a barrier contraceptive is the integrity of said barrier. I'm no physicist, but I don't know how ionizing radiation would help maintain a seal in an organic material sensitive to heat, friction, and UV

Not holes as such, but if there was a significant amount it would make the latex brittle and friable over time. Similar to exposure to UV light.

By the time a dog got hungry enough you wouldn't be safe to eat. Cats will go right at it, but if they like you they'll at least spare your face.

I am not in a hurry to get killed, but I see nothing wrong with being eaten after I die.

Laudanum was a basic druggist preparation and advertising it (without dressing it up as a patent medicine) would have been like advertising iodine. Even for a fake ad, though, this is a terrible execution.

You do understand that it's from a catalog, right? The fakest looking thing about the ad is how big it is, Sears & Roebuck catalogs were packed stupid-full of copy. I've seen a few sources claiming they sold laudanum (alongside cocaine and heroin) though so they must have had a little advertising blurb somewhere, even if it was just a paragraph of text.

Wikipedia posted:

Laudanum was used in home remedies and prescriptions, as well as a single medication.

Are you sure? I don't know if the ad is fake or not, but it seems plausible. I'd think the failure in execution, if it were fake, would be going for something the average person would have to look up instead of obviously being "we need vegetables for the war effort so if you want to give your children something healthy give them cocaine instead!".

In less than an hour, more than 150 cars went by? So that's what, one every 15-20 seconds? I didn't care about that problem when I first heard about it and I care even less now.

After really thinking hard about it, yes, I'm sure the ad with several different modern typefaces in multiple point sizes with razor-sharp resolution, an awkwardly-placed small logo of the catalog it's supposedly from, massive amounts of whitespace (one page for a single [e: generic] product?!), and multiple spelling errors is fake.

edit: laudanum's in the bottom left corner (S,R&Co. Catalogue No.112). Again, generic laudanum wasn't advertised; everyone knew what it was and what it was for. Here it's alongside epsom salts and borax, turpentine and ammonia.

edit a billion: I'm not taking great exception to the content (except "excessive secretions," which is included just to be ridiculous), I object to it being made up and presented among other real-life examples of advertising so that people will look at it and go "wow they really printed this totally real period-accurate ad for opium for babies???? lol people sure were dumb then"

Yes? When you buy a house in a subdivision specifically because of the low traffic so you dont have to worry about your kids getting ran over by some distracted rear end in a top hat commuter staring at his phone trying to save 45 seconds on his trip while facebooking and spamming skip on spotify, yeah, id be pissed.


Granted i live in a low traffice area in loving kansas but i can tell you if my neighborhoods traffic suddenly skyrocketed because of a google algorithim id be pissed, especially because the number one selling point for us was the lack of traffic and safety.

But seriously, gently caress those people who arent me, they should have foreseen this would happen amiright!

I can't remember what it's for, a drug store or a drug itself, but there's a raido ad I hear at least once an hour with a sick guy coughing bad, and saying he has to call out sick tomorrow. One commercial has his wife asking, all pissy, if he wants to call out sick to his daughter's birthday. The other has a whiny kid whimpering about him missing a dance recital.

YES. YES loving YES. You should not be around loving kids if you are sick beyond the loving common cold! The flu, bronchitis? Yes, you loving call out sick! Or, no, wait, you go and expose a ton of people to whatever has you coughing nonstop. Great idea.
