The Start of the Cocaine Epidemic?
Snorting Alka-Seltzer was something they once recommended in their ads.
Which somehow brings us to Mom and Apple pie Bayer aspirin. Everyone associates Good old Bayer with health, BUT they were a huge producer of Cocaine back in the day and marketed Heroin as a CURE for opium and morphine addiction! Even today they are a large producer of various pesticides, drugs, etc. Sometimes cute little ad guys like Speedy for alka seltzer mask a darker reality.
