Beer In Ads #1599: A Pair Of Pheasants

June 27, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Saturday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1953. So what’s the going rate for a glass of beer? Why, a pair of pheasants, of course. And this as is a two-fer. There are not one, but two, magic bottles in the ad. Both full glasses shown have only half-empty bottles next to them, and in fact they look nearly full, with only a small amount just about reaching the top of the label gone.

    Magic bottles to go with the mystery meat on the platter…what is that?

    Loox like some kind of head cheese or scrapple, both of which are unfit for this human’s consumption.
