In 1992, Barq's ran a Soviet Union "going out of business" promotion. They bought a warehouse full of soviet war medals, patches, buttons, flags etc and gave it all away to folks that bought their soda. This has to be a strong contender for the weirdest promo of all time.

A buff velociraptor wearing a red shirt with the words "Dinoland" and blue jeans with tears in them is looking down at his phone with a contemplated look on his face. On the phone it says Art? With a choice of either pressing a green button on the screen that says Yes and a red button on the screen that says No. A certain wott named tibs is Devin's angel subconscious, surely telling him he can always get it another time. Meanwhile Tagg is devil conscious is surely yelling at him LIVE YOUR TRUTH KING, YOU DESERVE IT. STIM THAT ECONOMY. Oh the choices...

After a long day of enjoying Dinoland, Devin notices one of his favorite artists is open for commissions... OH THE NEVER ENDING TEMPTATION.... SAVE... OR GIVE INTO TEMPTATION... #furry #furryart

Thank you very much!!

This advertisement features a Pontiac Torpedo with the slogan "Now We're Getting Somewhere!" The ad also shows a family admiring the car, while their dog excitedly stands on its hind legs to get a better look. The ad highlights the affordable price, stating that a Pontiac is within reach for those considering a new car. A Scottie dog is included in the image. Now We're Getting Somewhere! IF YOU THINK the Scottie is excited, you should see the folks inside! For this happy couple is about to make a dream come true. After months of wanting a Pontiac, they've just discovered they can afford one! After months of wanting a big car-a car that would not only be big in size, but big in performance, big in beauty, big in comfort and big in luxury-they've just discovered that Pontiac, with its stunning Body by Fisher, gives them what they want for only a very few dollars more than the lowest-priced cars! What's more, they've also discovered that literally thousands of recently converted Pontiac owners have found their Pontiacs are actually costing them no more - and sometimes less - to own and operate than their former lowest-priced cars! So now they're about to sign on the dotted line and make that dream come true at last! Why don't you profit by their experience and investigate Pontiac? See for yourself how, if you can afford any new car, you can afford a Pontiac "Torpedo"! ONLY $25 MORE FOR AN EIGHT IN ANY MODEL!

An advertisement depicts a smartly dressed man navigating a busy city street with a Samsonite briefcase. The scene includes taxis, pedestrians, and city buildings, conveying a sense of urban hustle. The advertisement emphasizes the briefcase's durability and suitability for the demands of the business world. SAMSONITE THE SURVIVOR Today's business world is a jungle. To survive, you've got to be strong. You've got to be tough. That's why smart business people travel with the Samsonite Accord® Attache. The Accord features a strong, yet lightweight frame, tough molded shell, sleek comfortable handle, and a durable three-wheel combi-nation lock that opens only when right side up. Sure the business world is tough. But Samsonite's attaches are even tougher.

An advertisement featuring soup with meat dumplings and egg noodles, presented in a blue and white bowl. The soup mix packet is shown alongside, emphasizing the homemade taste using high-quality ingredients. «Meatballs - like homemade! Many people have wondered that the dumplings in this "meatballs soup with egg shells" taste just as if they were "homemade." But is that a miracle? They are made, like everything Knorr offers, from the same ingredients that the housewife herself takes: Also from finely chopped beef - of course! And you can tell, at Knorr, nature tastes!»
