Followed by a refreshing glass of Radium™ Cola

Asbestos: the perfect insulation. Cool in summer. Warm in winter.

I swam as a child and was able to do 50meters underwater on a single breath in my teens. Later on, i smoked a pack of camels a day for 12 years. Never once felt winded from them.

What i am trying to say is the camels not winding famous swimmers has more to do with their own conditioning than the cigarettes being "mild".

When I need to paint my house, I only use the best lead based paint

Followed swiftly by a Nazi salute…

Flash Gordon!

He probably smoked then with his donut steak hamburger.

Smoking; it's safer than diving near Russian cruisers.

Thank you for saying this. We all know that smoking the weed is very bad for you. It fills your lungs with that weed juice and just gums up the tubes. And most cigarettes are a little better but, while they are good for clearing the lungs, have too many additives.

Camels are the way to go. These are just plain good for you, as any doctor will tell you.

We can look back and laugh at how stupid they were...while we vape as much as we like. Hmmm?

Did anyone else read this with a Mid-Atlantic accent?

My favorite one of these old Camel ads, was one for Thanksgiving dinner. Every course began and ended by smoking a cigarette. Green bean casserole/Camel/ Turkey and Stuffing/Camel Pumpkin pie/Camel Coffee/Camel. The text was something like, “You’re mouth’s watering for those home baked rolls, but first, light up a Camel.”

Different Buster Crabb.

Yanno - that's one helluva porno name.

Correct. This is Buster Crabbe... not to be confused with Buster Crabb, who was the MI6 Frogman... not to be confused with Mr. Krabs, who is a Bikini Bottom restauranteur, owner of The Krusty Krab.

90 years from now they'll be posting "2 weeks to flatten the curve" posters and wondering how we were so stupid.

Boy, did we endure horseshit a long time ago and it still happens today. The corporations are better at distraction now with what they do but the song remains the same.

Yes, the good old days. Sometimes you see someone post something about how good times were back in the day. Don't believe it. I was there. It wasn't any better. And often worse.

Is this some sort of nominative determinism at play?!

Amongst the many theories about Crabb's disappearance;

"Crabb's age and poor health caused by his heavy drinking and smoking had made him unsuitable for the mission that he had been assigned."

Stick that one in your pipe and smoke it, Crabbe.
