Shockingly offensive old print ads which would not fly today (sort of NSFW)

I came across this article from a business website which featured some old print ads from back in the day which people would consider racist, sexist, or just in plain bad taste now.

I wonder if the reason I'm hyperactive is that my mom mixed my milk with soda pop when I was a baby.

They got him frowning when he's black and "dirty" (synonymous in their eyes) and smiling and happy when he's white and "clean" (mostly). smh

The shit they got away with not that long ago... sad

this is still on our supermarket shelves:

From wikipedia:

"The cheese is said to be named after its American creator Edward W. Coon of Philadelphia, who patented a method, subsequently known as the Cooning process, for fast maturation of cheese via high temperature and humidity.[1][2][3][4] Former manufacturer Kraft, and later Dairy Farmers and National Foods, have vigorously defended the trademark.

The accuracy of Dairy Farmers' account of the origin of the brand has been challenged. Anti-racism campaigner Stephen Hagan has said that he has been unable to find evidence that Edward Coon was a famous cheese maker, contending that the name came instead from the black wraparound in which it was originally sold.[8]"

These got their name changed 10 years ago or so:
