"Honey, you aren't chubby. Your friends are just really too thin. You are perfectly fine the way you are... Oh! I forgot, I bought you some new clothes, have some Chubbettes..."

The girl in that add isn't even chubby, she looks like a normal weight to me. I guess that's part of the point of the ad, but...

She looks normal weight because she's wearing Chubbettes ๐Ÿ˜‰

Edit: a letter

Of course she looks like a normal weight. The Chubettes are doing their job!

Different standards. Chubby was a very different thing back then.

I know, it's just crazy to me that throughout history, if you weren't teetering on anorexia, you were fat.

They aren't food, until they must be.
