T-Shirt reveals secret of Darth Vader's shiny helmet

Darth Vader makes a good cleaning supply pitchman in a t-shirt on sale at Glennz Tees.

The shirt reminded me of a funny Formula 409 ad, but I couldn't find it on YouTube. Instead, I present Betty Boop singing about how much she likes Formula 409. It's pretty creepy when the dancing bottle removes his head:

Vintage ad promotes giving soda to babies

Text says:

How soon is to soon?
Not soon enough. Laboratory tests over the last few years have proven that babies who start drinking soda during that early formative period have a much higher chance of gaining acceptance and "fitting in" during those awkward pre-teen and teen years. So do yourself a favor. Do your child a favor. Start them on a strict regimen of sodas and other sugary carbonated beverages right now, for a lifetime of guaranteed happiness.
