Beer In Ads #1437: Refreshing As All Outdoors

January 16, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is still another one for Schlitz, from 1956. This is another backyard barbecue-themed ad, like yesterday’s, but in this one at least the attendees are dressed slightly more casually. The art is by Tom Hall, another popular illustrator of the day. What is in that bowl next to the man in the foreground, on the table with two bottles of Schlitz? Are those brown potato chips, or something else?

    My guess is that the chips are supposed to be BBQ-flavored ones, which were relatively new in 1956 (they sucked then, & still do!).
