20 Brand Ads That Will Make You Travel Back in Time

Many of the products we buy today have been around for several years and have been enjoyed by many different generations before us. That’s why the way brands communicate with people had to evolve over time to fit the needs and most importantly, the ideas, of their new potential buyers. Most of the ads that our parents and grandparents fell for have lost their marketing appeal, but not necessarily their vintage charm.

Bright Side compiled a short article that shows the old face of brands that survived to this very day, so that we can still see them in the market alive and kicking.

The maybeline ad is dated wrong. Madonna didn’t debut until 1983

The mouse was such a huge invention back in the day, I really can't see myself using a computer with tab and arrows keys!
