These Odd Vintage Products Totally Wouldn’t Fly Today

Wonder Sauna Hot Pants

If this ad made you laugh out loud, you’re not alone. These people look like they’re wearing balloon pants and are ready to jump into the pool and float. It’s the most ‘70s product to ever hit the market. People nowadays wouldn’t be caught wearing these, unless it was for a costume party. They were invented to help you lose a few extra pounds, and according to MeTV, “You inflated the rubber shorts and wore them around the house for a while. You could theoretically leave the house, but we don’t think many people did. Because of the heat, your body would sweat more than usual, causing you to lose a few extra ounces of water weight.” Luckily, they’re not around anymore (via MeTV).
