THE JEEP DEPENDS ON ENERGY!
These small armored cars pack a might wallop of energy created from the fuel they burn — energy that has given the “Jeep” a reputation for “getting there!”

The use of the Jeep in the ad makes sense; this ad is from Captain America Comics #23 and was written during the height of World War II.

YOUR ENERGY DEPENDS ON THE FOOD YOU EAT!
“Jeepers” your body needs energy too — to “get there” –energy from fuel that the human body utilizes — food!

You see where this is going, don’t you?

BABY RUTH IS RICH IN FOOD ENERGY!
A Baby Ruth Candy Bar is rich in Dextrose, and other nourishing ingredients. It helps give you a quick “pick up!”

But if food (and Dextrose!) is my fuel…what’s my motor oil? Or wiper fluid? Am I manual or automatic?

    Well I guess the wiper fluid would be the tear ducts. I don’t know what the lubrication could be though.

    More importantly: where’s the diagnostics port?

    So this is why they called it “The Battle of the Bulge”?

    If you’re a man, you’ve got a stick shift. You’re manual.
