Filter Coffee gives Ultimate Kick. (Don’t make an acronym of the capitalised letters!!)

Bru had a half page ad in yesterday’s Sunday Times (only in Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi editions). We could actually smell the coffee.  Next to the Bru bottle was the copy “Wake up and smell the coffee”. Being a true scorpion, I had already smelt the paper because the aroma was so strong. (The smell had died down by evening.)

The smell was good. But being a filter coffee loyalist, I pitied the instant coffee lover!

Vintage Ad's India

Not exactly from the eighteenth century (they too will be here one day) but the early 1900s

A Pears' Soap ad from 1910. The Times of India.

Reads, "Good Morning! Have you used Pears' Soap."

According to Pears, Inc. for the USA there now exists only one manufacturing facility in the world for Pears Soap and it is in India. That Indian company now owns all the rights to the soap, it formula, and its package, etc. Accordingly, there is no longer any Pears Soap made anywhere on the planet except in this one single factory which all of us hope will never shut down! NOTE: Pears Soap is still made exactly according to the original recipe in all ways

A 1902 ad for hand-pulled rickshaws in Calcutta 

Reads, "Japanese Jinrickshaws, very light, strong and easy runnin..." and the specification above.

Chevrolet Ad 1920

Fancy a Chevrolet for Rs. 2700? Well there's the Coach for Rs. 3600 and Sedan for Rs. 3900. But then it was in the 1920s, else I would've had one for each day of the week.
