This is perfume that you can spray in anywhere:

  • Your home
  • Your clothes
  • Your ears

I wonder what is 'bend-over' mean. Is it trademark ?

A pen combo that convert written text into typing text. From the ads, I think the device can also send the message for you.

The pen cost $15.

I don't know if sending that email cost anything. Unclear if it hook into your fax line or internet line or their own network.

Magic pill that make you younger ads.

But is Radium mentioned in the ads is 'Radium-88Ra' ? Can anyone dig deeper with me on this ? Found this [Radithor] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radithor) on wiki. Maybe this is it.

People really take radioactive pill to become younger these days ?

The ads said that this car insurance is cheap because they only sell to careful driver.

So, I guess, you can be customer of this company until you have 1 accident. I guess they will stop continue contract with you after they pay, if they actually pay at all.

Maybe, because the law force us to buy car insurance, so those company exist. Am I correct ? What do you think ?

Deploy it on your yard, and enjoy waterpark at home. ... Well, if only you have yard, or backyard.

Too bad, you live in a rented 20m2 apartment.

This is ads about lye (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lye), an stuff that help you make soap. So, back in those day, people make soap at home to save cost, not because they want 'homemade' soap.

"Grease" in the ads was fat from animal. People have ton of those because they live in the farm. Grease is one of by-product of butchering animal. The 'lye' is something that help turn grease into helpful stuff (soap) and save cost.
