This is an actual advert from the Soda Pop Board of America.

It looks a bit shocking now, but soda companies have not improved on their ugly marketing techniques. There just not quite so blatant about how they push their products on kids, to get them hooked for life.

Below is the text on the poster.

How soon to start?

Not soon enough.  Laboratory tests over the last few years have proven that babies who start drinking soda during that early formative period have a much higher chance of gaining acceptance and “fitting in” during those awkward pre-teen and teen years.  So, do yourself a favor.  Do your child a favor.  Start them on a strict regimen of sodas and other sugary carbonated beverages right now, for a lifetime of guaranteed happiness.
