Beer In Ads #1553: Fifty Shades Of Brown

May 12, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1960. Good to know advertisers back then were as shameless as today. It’s fifty shades of brown, with an attractive brown-haired male model in a brown suit and tie, sitting in a tan chair while holding a beer and a brown puppy. I wonder who they were targeting with the ad?

    The only thing missing is a brown beer.
