1971 KFC ad positions itself as mildly psychedelic antidepressant

Picture 8-7 Jim Leftwich found this bizarre old Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial after viewing the Jolly Green Giant commercial. Eat a drumstick and the Colonel will come and soothe you from your stressful day. (Businessmen still wore hats, albeit ones with puny brims, in 1971!) Link

Reader comment:

Jesse says: Do you feel like "Get back to the easygoing life" is just KFC Kode for "Re-institute slavery"?

Maybe so, 35 years ago. But when I drive by my local KFC nowadays, the message seems to have become "This is a good place for roid-ragers to park their hawt pickup trucks and engage in methamphetamine transactions." — Mark
