LOL, that is some ad, curlew. I don't know what's more offensive: peddling sugar (and possibly cocaine) to toddlers, or the suggestion that customers have a better way of fitting in socially. Wow!
And not much has changed.

However, that particular ad is not real, according to this source:

Sadly, they believe that tripe in Mexico, hence why they're the fattest people on the planet. They actually think soda is nutritionous and good for their children. Capitalism is terrible at educating and informing.

LOL at the cellophane-babies and dog-sack ones!!!
