Back in the day when smoking was good for you, but did strangely seem to coincide with chesty coughs, the makers of Kool decided the best solution was not quitting, but adding menthol cigarettes into the mix. They introduced the brand in the 30s complete with dubious medical advice and a jaunty penguin mascot, who was given the name Willie after WWII. Kool were all over sports marketing like the Red Bull of it's day...

| More skiing, smoking a Kool |
 |
| Surfing, smoking a Kool. |
 |
Ice fishing, smoking a Kool with a scarf to help alleviate the hacking cough
|
 |
| Ice skating, smoking a Kool |
 |
| Hitting on the naked chicks, smoking a Kool. |
 |
| Telling horrific lies, smoking a Kool. |
If you want to be as much of a lad as Willie the penguin, get smoking suckers.
