This company was founded in 1871 and still exists today. They sell various flavored seltzer waters and sodas. They ran this ad campaign in the 1930’s, 40s, and 50s. The Psyche character was in their ads long before that, after they bought the rights to a painting Psyche at Nature’s Mirror in 1893.
I am surprised by the ads, since this was the middle of the Hollywood Code Era, when even implied or silhouetted nudity was prohibited in films. There was also a Santa ad, this one from 1923,
Coca-Cola is frequently credited with the “invention” of the modern image of Santa Claus as an old man in red-and-white garments; however, White Rock predated Coca-Cola’s usage of Santa in advertisements for soft drinks.
Other examples of the Psyche ads,
These are cute except for the racist one
Yeah - eek. That’s rather … open and brazen, isn’t it.
Oh the things I would buy if they were advertised with classy naked women
I am wondering about those wings, too. They’re tiny compared to her size. Let’s say she is 100 lbs. How fast do they have to move to let her hover, as she is shown doing? The only hovering animals we have are small. An Osprey can hover for a very short time, at high energy cost, but they weigh only a few lbs and have much bigger wings relative to their body. There must be some incredible bio-materials going on with Psyche.
Also, no way is she gliding with those, which an Osprey can do. It’d have to be active lift at all times.
Two separate beds is interesting
It was taboo to imply fuckin’
The topless fairy is fine, though.
