I almost hate to write this post, but the time has come. If you follow me on social media, you might notice that every once in a while I post an ad for Kraft Potato Fudge. It is one of my favorite ads to post and it also fake. Why do I enjoy posting it? Primarily because I think it is a funny ad. But also because I want to live in a world where Potato Fudge is a real thing. An alternative history where parents were so desperate to get kids to eat spuds, they would slather them in fudge.

This Tide ad from the 1950s errs on the side of the stereotypical, by assuming that all women want to get Tide detergent, under the broader assumption that all women are responsible for the cleaning duties in their homes (as if all men didn't want their clothes cleaned). I guess political correctness was a distant concept for ads during the '50s.
