20 Bonkers Classic Comics Adverts You Won't Believe
14. Grow Seven Monsters
That's a very specific number. But, then, maybe there was a lot of market research that preceded the creation of this advert, which promised kids THRILLS & CHILLS...WHEN YOU SEE 7 AMAZING PLANT CREATURES COME TO LIFE! Which suggests maybe that's false advertising. Of course you're not actually being given the capability to grow monsters at home. Monsters are grown in labs by mad scientists. In films. So what this actually was, was a bunch of crummy plants that were shaped crudely into the form of scary monsters.
