Hey, What Were They Thinking?



Yes, of course....every mother should have a sun lamp so she and her baby can have matching tans....What was she thinking?

God help the man who spanks his wife because she doesn't store-test (is that sampling?) for fresher coffee? Chase & Sanborn had a turn-key tin similar to sardine cans....but really.... What was he thinking?

During the World War II Americans made numerous sacrifices for the war effort. Certain things were rationed, and everyone did their part. But when it came to Ride-Share....you had better not be caught riding alone.....What was Uncle Sam thinking?

After we won the big war, and father's came home, America had an industrial and economic boom. Life in the early 50's was good. Everyone was getting TVs and watching Howdy Doody. For Christmas, kids everywhere where asking Santa for Atomic Energy Labs...because there was a cold war on the horizon....What was Santa thinking?

Then in the sixties, after the big universal recall of the Atomic Energy Lab, and before video games like Nintendo or even Pong.....families played together with the rifles Santa brought them. Once again......What was Santa thinking?
