"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...

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