Interesting how tiny that Crunch bar is in his hands. What was probably full size then, is fun size now.
Surprised it doesn’t add “don’t forget your cigarette after”
Reminiscent of the cigarette ads of the past. They used to claim “six of 10 doctors smoke XYZ brand”.
Big sugar…killed more people than tobacco ever could

Why do I see homelander?
Homelander?? Lol
With enough money you can have anyone say what you want them to…..sad state of affairs
Paid for by big sugar
everything in moderation
Diabetes express
I thought that was Homelander
Seeing stuff like that from 50 years ago makes me wonder what people will think of nutritional advice we follow today.
I thought that guy had the worst case of herpes I had ever seen.
Advertising*
This is a ad, actual science knew then both cigarettes and sugar was bad for you, you just didn’t hear about it in ads and magazines that relied on marketing. The same is true today with many things.
Looks like homelander.
I remember these ads. There were a bunch of different ones. The public or part of it was becoming far more discerning about what they put in their bodies. And sugar had to fight back.
is sugar the problem or HFCS?
Not sure we should be taking health advice from Homelander.
Homelander doing sugar ads. That’s hilarious.
9 out of 10 doctors recommend Camels.
Tbh sugar does convert to fast energy. Hypothetically I guess this could result result in less “desire” to eat since you are getting higher insulin spike from sugar.
Sugar is also great for high intensity athletes who need a quick burst of energy that other carbs couldn’t provide. I always like a white rice meal before I workout for the insulin spike.
Homelander?
Health advice from **an advertisement** in 1971.
Omg new context of understanding to Mary Poppins singing “a spoonful of sugar”
Don’t stories like this make you wonder how much of what we’re told as facts now are completely wrong. We humans are consistently arrogant that we have it all figured out.
That’s not health advice – that’s marketing masquerading as health advice. See Gatorade, milk, etc etc etc
Have a cigarette. It dampens your appetite!
Thanks, Homelander
But….all calories are energy….it’s literally the definition of a calorie.
It’s not exactly wrong. Sometimes your hunger craving is more of a sugar craving, so if you start off a meal with a little bit of something sweet, it can help you to not overeat. The problem is most people leave dessert for last, and so through your whole meal you’re still left craving sugar and then you pile it on at the end of a huge meal. Or you just keep eating more food because you still haven’t gotten your sugar fix.
This is exactly the kind of advertisement I’d expect Homelander to be doing in the 70s.
Hey same can be said about cocaine lets just have a sniff!
To be fair this wasn’t health advice. It was marketing and sales.
Remember, the follow the science, it’s science so it’s not wrong, the FDA approved this shit for years.
Health advice today, take the 5th booster or you WILL die.
Sugar isnt the thing that makes you fat, its your sedentary lifestyle
