Beer In Ads#1255: How To Get The Dishes Done

July 18, 2014 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is another one for Schlitz, this time from 1951. Want to get your man off the couch watching the baseball game? Ply him off the Lazyboy by waving a bottle of beer at him. “When there’s Schlitz in the picture, even a domestic chore becomes an attractive proposition.” So at least there’s nothing sexist about this ad.

    The dishes already are done – all she wants is for him to dry them off & put them away! Would’ve been much better if most dishes were in a sink of soapy water & only 1 or 2 smaller items in the rack. It is sexist, as she’s done the hard part, & air’s already done half the drying!
