Charles Antell Formula 9 and Shampoo
This ad is shockingly intense for no good reason. It shows a woman holding a gun to her head, while there’s a noose around her neck, and with the other hand holding a bottle of poison. Why? Because she says that if her hairs looks bad one more time, she’ll kill herself. It’s a pretty sick use of downplaying suicide to try to sell a product.

Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic
Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic was a fever remedy made from quinine in a syrup, which meant that it was not actually tasteless at all, and many even said it was pretty nasty as well. This ad is quite bizarre as well, it’s unclear why they would superimpose a child’s head onto the body of a pig, why would that sell more of this product?
