Milk: it does a body good. This slogan signifies a simpler time, before the flashy celebrity endorsed "Got milk?" ads prevailed.
The milk ads in the late 80s are notorious and were oft-parodied back in the day. The standard formula: some pipsqueak is shunned by a bigger kid, then proceeds to go off on a tangent about how drinking milk is going to magically transform them into an Adonis. Milk might do a body good, but it sure gave these kids delusions of grandeur. And turned them into real assholes.
The brat in this video takes the cake. She's wearing what appears to be a wedding dress and screeching at her older brother, who joked that two of her could fit in it. Jeez, overreact much? Someone must have slipped some steroids into her drink, because she practically speaks in a baritone by the time she grows up.
This next one aired in the early 90s. I used to really dig the song. How sad is it that I can still sing it word for word?

While working out doesn't give you a free pass to overeat, your body will need and burn more calories on days that you exercise.Elevate IGF Several people mistakenly increase protein intake when building muscle mass.Elevate IGF Often, this increases caloric intake and can lead to more fat gain. Instead, gradually increase your protein intake by about a hundred calories every two days. Your body will then be able to use the protein to build muscle mass.
