Beer In Ads #1393: Anyway, You Didn’t Burn The Schlitz

December 3, 2014 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1952. The ad is certainly a bit sexist to modern eyes, showing what is a presumably new bride having burned dinner, while her husband tries to reassure her by pointing out that at least there was nothing wrong with the Schlitz. I wonder why they’re sitting on a plate?
