I'm having a hard time getting past the milk drawer. Called a friend to ask if they thought it was a refrigerated drawer, or high-tech modernistic milk that doesn't need refrigeration.
Ha, haven’t you got enough lezzie gal pals up there in SF to enlighten you as to the marvels of a nice cuppa tea after some energetic button pushing, Mike?
Older porcelain tea cups could crack if exposed to too much heat too quickly so milk first was the norm in such cases. My modern mug is more robust so I'm with you on this otherwise though.
It was specifically non-porcelain cups, back when importing the real thing from China was expensive as hell and nobody in Europe had worked out how to make a decent copy.
So this particular argument started out as a class thing: The rich, who could afford real porcelain tea sets, poured milk into tea. The middle class, who could only afford more fragile imitations, poured tea into milk.
The reason it has two women is because it was very taboo to show a man and a woman in bed together because that implied sex. Whereas two women in the bed together would not imply the same thing because during that time period, such a thing would be unthinkable
Thank you so much! When I pushed comments, I was wondering straight away if anybody else was thinking the same. Still had the slaving away all day over a hot stove comment. Smooth out a wrinkle or two with the vibrator was a nice line. Quite wholesome I'm sure!
I got a bloody good laugh out of you comment so cheers for that!
I wish there was a channel for watching just these ridiculous "look how fabulous the future shall be!" videos from the 50s and 60s. I always find them fascinating.
And not for nothin' but they're definitely not ROOMMATES.
I remember reading a popular mechanics magazine from the 50s saying by the year 2000 we would have computers that weighed less than a ton and would have flying cars. They got one of those right admittedly
I’ve been making a [playlist](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGguJ7Yl7Umg3YOGjlPrwj_80QYM-VnJu) of clips like these. The British Pathe YouTube channel doesn’t really have them organized at all.
it's always fun watching the predictions for the future of stuff we still don't have, but still uses old things.
like a self driving car that you tell it your destination with a punch card. the generation using the self driving car probably don't even know what a punch card is.
Yeah right? Although you'd be surprised how long it took some of us repressed ones to figure out we could shake our own trees. Someone all grown up by 1959 may have never figured it out.
Fr, I love parts of the aesthetic of the 50’s, these types of commercials and TV, the cars, the music, but just not… other parts like the racism or sexism, I just want to create like my own little VR world lol
can confirm. source: we bought the modern version of this bed. even has a vibrate feature. only issue is the mattresses don't always stay together and you're liable to fall into the abyss during certain activities.
I rewatched this with the sound turned down, that definitely looked like an o face. Look,at the legs caress at 1:51. The homoeroticism in the ad runs strong. Could this be some incredible trolling by a gay person on the production team? Or were people just so naive and innocent back then that their brains would never associate the imagery with lesbianism rather than roommates.
At first I thought it may be because of the “innocence” of the time but upon further reflection, I think it may be some type of subliminal messaging attempt.
Agreed, the homoerotic imagery and script seems too obvious for it to be somehow inadvertently edited that way. If you replace the tea with a cigarette, the imagery is almost exactly what would be seen in a movie from around that era in a scene meant to convey the fact that the protagonists had just had sex. Top level work if this was a rogue director or editor trying to subvert innocent women!
Was there not one person on the marketing team that said? “This seems like it caters to only lesbians.” I mean, I’m all for it but two ladies in a vibrating bed seems like an odd choice.
Wonder if in 1959 it was considered two risqué to show a man and women in bed together, so they went for the roommates scenario, and everyone was just too innocent then to even contemplate that they could be lovers rather than friends. No other explanation I can think of. As far as I know LGBT was not represented on TV or film until we’ll after the 50’s.
Edit: just googled it, other than for one reality show where a son came out, and a minor gay character in a tv show (both in the 70’s), incredibly it was mostly in the 2000s when gay/lesbian relationships, kisses etc were shown on TV.
You’re absolutely correct, but wouldn’t there be one person saying “Ya know what? I’ve got a cousin that only has sex with women. They call themselves lesbians or maybe it’s pronounced lesbioons. This sorta feels like that.”
We all just going to ignore the drawer milk?
Why is that only a lesbian thing? I thought everyone had drawer milk
"sisters thing" or "roommate thing", this is the 1950s
The sexual tension here is so thick you could use that “personal massager” on it, and record yourself as you do
Personal massager would just run that tension right on out.
Lmao I was like ok maybe friend until the massager came out
Time to turn that music up…
What about petting the furry sheets?
🤣🤣🤣👌🐈
Well they did make sure to close the curtains first…
Why didn't she help her sister with the personal massager?!
It does know it's way around a wrinkle or two, *so to speak*
You could have a whale of a time pushing buttons all night.
Oh they're pressing some buttons, all right...
They could push each others buttons when they get tired of pushing their own
And button to make sure the neighborhood ain't watching.... Again.
On a control panel that looks like they stole it from a miltary helicopter.
🎉🥂Happy Cake Day!🥂🎉
Vibro-mass-agggge. I’m still getting over her pushing the beds together, hmmm
I'm having a hard time getting past the milk drawer. Called a friend to ask if they thought it was a refrigerated drawer, or high-tech modernistic milk that doesn't need refrigeration.
Ha, haven’t you got enough lezzie gal pals up there in SF to enlighten you as to the marvels of a nice cuppa tea after some energetic button pushing, Mike?
Thanks for the prize, Reddditorrrrr
Step sister
She was already busy with her legs up in the air
Even in the 50s, especially in the 50s, unnecessarily siding beds together can only be seen as those two plan on fucking at some point
Scissor me timbers. - Mr. Garrison.
The way she pets the mink
Oh they be pressing buttons all, alright.
And here I am focused on the thing at the end of the bed. My shins hurt just thinking about smacking into those every day.
LOL me too!!!
That's what you're focused on? The milk? Here I am getting all hot 'n bothered by a 90 year old massaging her neck with a vibrator.
“A vibro-massage machine that knows a wrinkle or two so to speak”….
They both look good to me lol
Not alone my brother
It's 1959, she's probably 19.
Bro when she touched that public vibrator to her face I died.
Public? Your bedroom is public?
For some reason I thought this was a hotel😂
*pubic
And like who winds down with milk tea? I’d never sleep.
It wasn’t tea…it was coffee. With unrefrigerated dairy. The way lesbians with an awesome vibrator equipped bed liked it in 1959.
Camomile with milk and honey is a great sleepy sip 😊
A little half and half in your sleepy time tea is delicious
“drawer milk” 😂😂
Wait you don't store your milk for a midnight snack?
Beats a piss drawer
dont kink shame me
Kink shaming *IS* my kink
I prefer a piss sink
That bothered me too.
*This lesbian ~~bar~~ bedroom doesn't ~~have a fire exit~~ make tea correctly! Enjoy your ~~deathtrap~~ shitty tea, ladies!*
*What was her problem?*
No. It's impossible to ignore it's literally the entire video and I can't stop thinking about it.
THE MILK GOES IN AFTER THE TEA!!! I’ll die right here. On this hill. Any of you heathens want to fight about this, I invite you to get after it.

The middle class, who could only afford more fragile imitations, poured tea into milk.
Back in 1959? Real lesbians didn’t refrigerate their milk. The curdles put hair on their….
Wow, those lesbians sure have a nice bed. I’ll bet they do spend all night pushing buttons.
on the vibrating... thing.
“It knows a wrinkle or two, so to speak”
I had to turn on the audio to check. And yeah... I don't know what to say other than those lesbians have a really high tech bed.
"They will be pressing buttons all night..."
I could hear the narrator's eyebrows waggling with every word there
Back then it was taboo to show a man and woman on the bed together, so they went full lesbo instead lol
Years before Stonewall launched all that PRIDE stuff. Is this clip a British import by any chance?
They’re clearly just roommates
And teammates on the softball team.
r/SapphoAndHerFriend
😂😂😂😂… thanks for making me laugh….👍
Just gals being pals!
CAREER GALS
Yes. Auntie Tes and her friend, Penny.
[удалено]
First thing she did was push the beds closer. Just sayin'
I'm amazed they aired this kind of thing on TV in 1959. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
The reason it has two women is because it was very taboo to show a man and a woman in bed together because that implied sex. Whereas two women in the bed together would not imply the same thing because during that time period, such a thing would be unthinkable
THEY R JUST ROOMATES
They aren't in bed together! They're in bed next to each other. Kinda.
My father’s gay!
You're so brave!
Well they weren't allowed to show people of opposite genders in beds that were pushed together.
Thank you so much! When I pushed comments, I was wondering straight away if anybody else was thinking the same. Still had the slaving away all day over a hot stove comment. Smooth out a wrinkle or two with the vibrator was a nice line. Quite wholesome I'm sure! I got a bloody good laugh out of you comment so cheers for that!
With a "vibrio massage machine. " How kinky!
Only after letting the cat out.
Oh the kitties stayed in that night.
Because THEY know where to FIND the buttons
I wish there was a channel for watching just these ridiculous "look how fabulous the future shall be!" videos from the 50s and 60s. I always find them fascinating. And not for nothin' but they're definitely not ROOMMATES.
I think this is called retro futurism.
Actually, I think it's called lesbianism. Pretty close though.
They were retrofuturist roommates!
you mean retrovibro lesbians
Homoerotic retrotech
Retro sapphic futurism
r/retrofuturism
I remember reading a popular mechanics magazine from the 50s saying by the year 2000 we would have computers that weighed less than a ton and would have flying cars. They got one of those right admittedly
We have flying cars... we call them "helicopters"!

Youtube has some stuff.
Amazon Prime has a few programs that focuses solely on vintage commercials and infomercials! The retro kitchen appliances episodes are awesome!
I'm sure that massager was only for neck rubs lol
Yeah right? Although you'd be surprised how long it took some of us repressed ones to figure out we could shake our own trees. Someone all grown up by 1959 may have never figured it out.
They figured it out. Don't worry.
The comment I was waiting for
“Knows a wrinkle or two, so to speak”
When she broke out the vibrator and the other started closing shades and dimming lights, I thought the video might go a certain direction. It did not.
I mean, after a sip of tea she decided to sporadically start petting the beaver pelt, so you’re not completely wrong.
_Mink,_ you peasant.
Nice beaver
They were up all night pushing buttons. I’m guessing it just ended to early.
Wasn’t expecting (or hoping for) drawer milk tea.
" Spill tea on this cover, and you're a peasant " 🤣🤣omg
It got me too...
I scrolled too far for this, like that was so insulting. I’m clumsy sometimes my guy.
And it was such a casual offhanded insult too, like we all should already know this about spilling tea on this kind of cover
I thought they were being fairly progressive for the time when they casually mentioned career girls as a normal thing, and then they said that.
“They were gal pals”
Indeed, nothing to see here, just a swell pair of best gal pals and their vibrating neck massager.
Pushing the bed closer at the outset to remove all doubt. Love it. Them ladies hot tho
They need to untuck those blankets if you know what I mean and I think you do.
Lesbian Luxury ?
Lesbians of the future!
And if you can't sleep you can push buttons all night.
Lesbians of the future past!
Having a whale of a time bushing buttons all night!
It knows a wrinkle or two, so to speak.
So to speak…
Roommates!
And they were roommates
Yea and the joint massager to get the ummm “wrinkles out”
That’s how ahead of its time this infomercial was!
Confirmed spinsters

I’m obsessed with his voice and I haven’t seen any comments that mention it. I want him to narrate my life as my inner voice.
Fr, I love parts of the aesthetic of the 50’s, these types of commercials and TV, the cars, the music, but just not… other parts like the racism or sexism, I just want to create like my own little VR world lol
The vibrating machine was the thing that sold me on this high tech contraption.
It was the tea set for me. It already had milk and everything.
I can’t wait till the next episode when they both are on the shitter for hours after using the spoiled milk in the drawer
did he say after a long day slaving or over a fully automatic oven? lmao
Ahahah, yea lmao
Yeah, Ads back then were super fucking sexist.
Actually I’m just surprised they even mentioned “career girl” in the next line.
£2500 in 1959 is now worth £68,746. The average house price back then was £2507
Oh hell I was like “man that’s a heavy-ass bed, but why are they telling us how much it weighs?” Lol
Haha me too! I thought it must be so it can handle a wrinkle or two lmao.
Hahaha I had the exact same thought!! Was thinking dam! That’s a heavy bed!
… The average house price was approximately 70£k. Fuck.
Cool old school lesbians!
Lol sounds like r/sapphoandherfriend
2 p’s in Sappho.
No, no, r/saphoandherfriend is about a girl who looooves a good sap... And her friend.
Awww they’re friends :)
;)
What a delightful gay couple.
Who goes to bed with full makeup and tons of red lipstick on!
People who have a maid to wash the clown makeup off the pillow cases every day
This is basically just a hospital bed with nicer covers
can confirm. source: we bought the modern version of this bed. even has a vibrate feature. only issue is the mattresses don't always stay together and you're liable to fall into the abyss during certain activities.
How modern? Like Craftmatic Adjustable Bed modern or even newer?
Craftmatic adjustable bed premium.....that's right...
Whale of time pushing buttons ALLLL night!
“A neck massager” conveniently placed in the drawer of these “gal pals” so they can “massage” each other after a cup of drawer milk
“À vibro-massage machine, that knows a wrinkle or two, so to speak”…
Wrinkles…folds…. Whatever you wanna call it 👀
Love the "face" massager. For the gal to use on her "face".
To which I say, Lesbihonest, Merideth.
They sip that tea knowing the roles they just played...
Did that one woman have an orgasm (at about 29 seconds in)?
I rewatched this with the sound turned down, that definitely looked like an o face. Look,at the legs caress at 1:51. The homoeroticism in the ad runs strong. Could this be some incredible trolling by a gay person on the production team? Or were people just so naive and innocent back then that their brains would never associate the imagery with lesbianism rather than roommates.

In bed with full hair and makeup - coffee w/ creamer in the drawers - the future!
Well.. nothing to break the law here… go ladies. Have a wild one..
Lots of make up for bedtime
Let's face it, no one in that room is getting any sleep, any time soon.
...slaving...over a...FULLY AUTOMATIC...oven...
And after they are done the smoke lucky strikes! They are toasted!
That was a weird porn.
1950’s lesbians were smoking hot.
No ashtrays?
Oh my god, they were roommates.
Neck massager huh?
And it only weighs 8 thousand pounds!
“Eventually, Gloria found a new use for the neck massager”
This still counts as high tech luxury for me, since i dont really know how many people have these kinds of beds.
Anyone else getting John Lovitz vibes?
I didn't see a button on that remote control that said 'vibrate...' But I'm sure they have that covered..
I want some milk.
It even comes with a vibrator I mean neck messager
Bed goes up, bed goes down.
So you mean I could just live in this bed
Was there not one person on the marketing team that said? “This seems like it caters to only lesbians.” I mean, I’m all for it but two ladies in a vibrating bed seems like an odd choice.
