Old ad: Drink sugary drinks before meals to lose weight!


A group called “Sugar Information” ran ads in the late 60s and early 70s promoting soft drinks as a way to fill up and suppress your appetite. I suspect that people who followed this advice were disappointed — the sugar crash from soft drinks is pretty widely believed to make you hungry, not full.

O RLY? I wonder if butter works like this too.
