Beer In Ads #1456: Half Quarts & Popcorn

February 4, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is for Budweiser, from the 1960s. Part of the “where there’s life” series of ads, this one focuses on the big cans, half quarts or as they jokingly say, “king size.” And each king size can apparently fill two glasses. It’s certainly captured the guy’s attention as he smirks and gives an intent sideways glance at the beer being poured, as he continues to eat from the bowl of popcorn in front of him. Maybe it’s just me, but who sits at a table and eats popcorn? Isn’t popcorn a watch something sort of food?
