Beer In Ads #2292: Three Rings, Fish Blowing Bubbles

May 30, 2017 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is for Ballantine, from 1949. In this ad, part of a series progressing from one, to two, to three rings, a fish is blowing air bubbles under water, which naturally look like rings. First one, then a second, and finally a third, resembling the Ballantine logo.
