For the second annual Blogger’s silly week.

I received an email with some pictures of 1930’s ads and this was one of them. The original was headed with “EAT! EAT! EAT! & ALWAYS STAY THIN!”

Yuk springs to mind and I think I will stick with a more healthy method of losing weight.

There is a really gross comments section here, if you a brave enough to look!

    LOL I remember seeing this ad when i worked at the vets, we often came across tape worms in the line of our work and my colleague jokingly suggested that if the practice was revived we could make a fortune breeding and selling them :o

    How cruel to steal fish and birds’ food just for vanity. Like you, I also doubt it would be healthy unless you scrub them first.

    A slow and sure route to:
    a) ruining your looks
    b) ruining your health
    c) the operating theatre

      They sound absolutely gross to me. I couldn’t believe that on that thread I linked to people were asking where you could get them from.

  6. No exercise – can’t see why this didn’t catch on !

  7. Ugh! Thanks for the laugh, though.
