Vintage Ad Puzzle of the Week.
(click ad, from 1944, via) Some questions with this wartime Scotch tape ad. Why are those dickweed 4-F men leering/laughing at poor subway Blondie? Did she just shit that piece of cake? Ever hear of paper bags, dummy? There really was no Scotch tape available for civilians during WWII? At the time, was Scotch's marketing department run by a complete moron? Previous vintage ad puzzles: a most disturbing Hotpoint dishwasher ad • the Perma-lift girdle ad riddle • think of this American Airlines stewardess as your mother? • Is this 1940 Sanka ad racist or super racist? • Is this 1906 Shredded Wheat ad racist or super racist?

"There really was no Scotch tape available for civilians during WWII?"
True. I was raised by my great-grandma who was never able to fully shake off the shackles of Depression era & WW2 scarcity. She would reuse Scotch tape to a ridiculous extent and prattle on about it's preciousness, as though the drugstore didn't have shelves full of it for $1.
