Description
Black and white 10″ x 13 1/2″ ad for the product by Mennen called Quinsana. The ad says that you should “Check yourself for symptoms of Athlete’s Foot. 1) Peeling between toes, 2) Cracks between toes, 3) Soft, soggy skin and 4) Itching”. This text is accompanied by a picture of a lady sitting on her bathtub working on her feet with a very concerned look on her face. The next, biggest headline says “Have You Got It?” The ad indicates that you may not realize it but you may, in fact, have Athlete’s Foot. Survey’s indicate that at least 70 % of U.S. adults are infected each year. They recommend that the best way to handle Athlete’s Foot is a two-step process. First you put Quinsana on your feet and, second, you put Quinsana in your shoes.
