Is it just me or is she holding a penis?
Thanks to my friend Becky for sending this 1970s (I'm guessing) jewel from the makers of 7 UP. Like cola has long been retired to the dustbin of failed products, but what a pitch: "Yesterday... woman's sufferage. Today... a soft drink just for girls. " An ad even Tom Frank could love. I can't figure out whether it was intended to co-opt feminism or make fun of it.

I love the guy's eye rolling. "A soft drink for girls? Now I've seen everything!"

My guess is Mr. Eye Roll's thinking, "How can I get her to cuddle Mr. Winky like that?"
