Ah, A Miss Ammonium Sulfate competition? Craze Swimsuit of the ’50s !
This is a 1956 photograph of female models in ammonium sulfate bags as swimsuits, posing next to a bagging machine.
Advertising agencies in the 50s gone crazy? Yep, you could probably say they’re run by Mad Men. It looks a little gross now because it was the style at the time. There were so many kinds of marketing in the ’50s, but it was Senseless Acts of Sex Sells. The interesting part is how they manage not to be visibly gagging from the smell. Since they used apparently empty bag, I don’t think is an issue at this point.
Some interesting comments from the Internet as below,
I can’t think of anything sexier than ammonium sulfate
My dream job!
I had no idea ammonium sulfate could be so sexy.
