Beer In Ads #146: Ask For Schlitz

July 8, 2010 By Jay Brooks

Without intending it, this week has become a Schlitz week, and Thursday’s ad is one from 1956. The waiter’s uniform is hilarious. Are they on a cruise ship? And I love the hat on the woman. Actually, the expression on all their faces are priceless. The tagline, “Ask for Schlitz … see why it outsells all other beers” is a classic taunt. Schlitz is also featured on the cover of the menu that the man is holding.
