21 Photos, Articles, And Posts That Aged So Poorly, It’s Honestly Really Hard To Look At Them Now
1. This "tip" from 1963 advises people to bury engine fuel in the ground. Today, we know how harmful this is to our environment:

2. This person made a joke about murdering Queen Elizabeth on the exact day she ended up dying:
As predicted fromagedlikemilk
3. And this meme joked that Queen Elizabeth would outlive King Charles so he'd never take her throne. Following her death, he became king:

4. A 2011 DC comic featured Jared Fogle “lending a helping hand” to Superman and Co. In 2015, he was sentenced to 15.5 years in prison for distributing child pornography and having sex with minors:

Unfortunately, there are several countries still struggling with polio outbreaks, including the United States. There are currently at least 57 confirmed polio cases in New York — a consequence of the anti-vax movement:
Thanks a lot anti-vaxxers! fromagedlikemilk
6. This 2017 article claimed that Josh Peck and Drake Bell had reconciled after Drake called Josh out on Twitter for not inviting him to his wedding. But on Barstool's BFFs podcast, Josh said they never actually made up and haven't spoken since the feud:
Drake & Josh are all good, don’t worry… fromagedlikemilk
7. This 1950 ad claimed there was "not one single case of throat irritation due to smoking Camels." We know now that smoking puts people at a high risk for throat cancer:

8. This 2018 quote from Jalen Ramsey is a bit embarrassing these days, considering Josh Allen's success:
Jalen Ramsey made this statement in 2018. Josh Allen is one of the best QB’s in the and posted a perfect passer rating against Ramsey last night fromagedlikemilk
9. This old advertisement for cellophane shows babies wrapped in plastic. As we now know, plastic wrap is a major suffocation hazard for babies and young children:

10. And this advertisement for lead definitely predated our knowledge of how dangerous the naturally occurring element really is:
Lead is everywhere and in your child’s playpen fromagedlikemilk

12. This ancient computer has a sticker on it that says "never obsolete." I beg to differ:

13. This ad promoting salt for weight loss is both pseudoscience and anti-fat:
“Eat whatever, just take this salt to lose weight!” – Tampa Tribune ; April 22, 1934 fromagedlikemilk
14. This is the poster for a movie called It's Pat, which was based on a regular character on SNL. The "joke" is that no one knows Pat's gender. This movie would obviously not be made today, as it's extremely offensive toward nonbinary people:
Live From New York, It’s…not Lorne’s best idea… fromagedlikemilk
15. This is a quote from president James Buchanan about how he will be fondly remembered in the future. Unfortunately for him, he is actually considered to be one of the United States' worst presidents, due to the pisions he created over slavery leading up to the Civil War:
It’s 2022 and we still think he’s one of the worst presidents ever fromagedlikemilk
16. This was a 1950s advertisement titled "The Beauty of Asbestos." Today, we're thankfully aware that asbestos causes cancer:
A miracle! fromagedlikemilk
17. This page from a booklet claimed that July 2, 2016 would be "E-DAY," aka the day the world runs out of petrol. Prices of petrol are still exorbitantly high, but we definitely haven't run out:

18. In 2015, CNN ran an article that said Saudi Arabia would run out of cash in less than five years. According to the Economist, Saudi Arabia will have the fastest growing economy in 2022:

19. This advertisement advised women to put Lysol in their vaginas. Enough said:
reddit.com / Via reddit.com20. Same with this one:
reddit.com / Via reddit.com 21. And finally, this poor redditor thought they'd only be out of school for two weeks at the start of the coronavirus pandemic:
That was a long 2 weeks ngl fromagedlikemilk
