Beer In Ads #3629: Cuddling With Budweiser

February 3, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Wednesday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from 1958. This ad was made for Anheuser-Busch, and was part of their series using the tagline. “Where there’s Life … there’s Bud,” which ran from the 1950s into the 1960s, and this one features a couple outdoors, I think leaning against a tree trunk, and cuddling, as the man pours a can of beer into a mug she’s holding. She’s looking back at him rather mischievously, but she really should be keeping an eye on the beer. It’s about spill over and that will definitely spoil the mood. The text begins “Keep It A Secret,” so maybe it’s more canoodling than mere cuddling after all.
