Back in the Day When They Used to Market Cocaine: These Coke Gear Ads From the Mid-1970s and Early 1980s Are Bonkers

Inspired by the hit Netflix series Narcos, a drama about the life of world infamous drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, fans of the crime drama decided to do some investigating of their own and dug up "coke gear" ads from drug magazines published between 1976 to 1981, posting the collection on The World's Best Ever.

Here are some of the advertising from the coke era between 1976 and 1981.
