haha, funny.
but surely fake.
i am sure the "soda pop board" would have spelled guaranteed correctly.

i bet Britney saw this ad...that's why she put pop in her kid's bottles...

Fake.

If you notice the grey/white background near the cola bottle, the space under that 'Promotes Active etc!' and so forth is lighter than the background around it.

This is a classic attempt at photoshopping that is not quite professional enough to fool people who use it enough.

yeah and the wording is too modern too.

And the font.

I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few 'shops in my time.

It's actually not that much of a stretch. My father was a physician in a San Joaquin Valley farming community and he often saw infants nursing on Coke and Pepsi bottles with nipples fitted to them.

All through the 80's and nineties - even now, parents seem to think they can just give their kids soda and sugary juices. It drives me nutso as a mom because there are certain people whose kids are friends with my kids and while they do ask if they can have soda, I find it difficult to say no every time.

I was raised alongside two toddlers that where bottle fed pop and juice from day one, then their teeth rotted. Mmmhmmm.

It has a typo!

....that can't be real.

The "pop" bottle is reversed too.

[info]bluebellrock

September 18 2007, 09:30:26 UTC 4 years ago

No chance. There's a highly unlikely typo in 'gauranteed' and a non-convincingly vintage typeface in the main text. The 'COLA' in the header is also suspicious, if only because they probably couldn't match the original font. Also, the text is plain stupid: "and other sugary carbonated beverages right now". Also, which cola company is being promoted here? The back-to-front Coca-Cola bottle?

Fakeness plus.

Oh, the Soda Pop Board of America! Haha.

I believe the 7-Up one could be real.

Yeah- fake. I made it a few years ago for a friend.

Weird to see it pop up at random. Where the heck did you find it?

Good enough to cause a double-take! Fix the typo, add a zone number to the address (e.g., "Chicago, 4, Illinois"), attend to the other points, and then... I don't know... go fool somebody, I guess. I got a chuckle from it, anyway.

I read it all the through and believed it until I hit "gauranteed" and noticed the Coca Cola logo was reversed. Excellent job!

Excellent! I think it's hilarious I found this through CollegeHumor.com instead of my friends list.

Really? Where? Do you have a link?

Thanks.

I'm searching on their site and can't find it. I know it was featured, though. =)

I actually found it first on a German blog
http://minderjahr.blogspot.com/2007/12/how-soon-is-too-soon.html

I thought it was real and did a search on it and pulled up this journal entry.

The address on W. Hart in Chicago doesn't exist, either. Hart is a one block street that runs north-south.

Guaranteed?

Um... I think that's how "guaranteed" is spelled, I think it's correct.
