Beer In Ads #1587: It’s The Trend, Friend!

June 15, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is for Ballantine Ale, from 1957. The ad claims that “American taste is returning to the genuine in food and drink,” to which it’s hard not to think that for 1957: “not yet.” But check out the woman in the green dress. Is she just incredibly happy to see everybody, or are they playing charades.

    True Jay, the ad was ahead of its time. (It’s charades, for sure).

    Gary’s odds-on correct & the “High 5”, which today we’d be thinking she’s looking for, had yet to be created (LOL)
