Beer In Ads #1621: Put The Finest Label … On Your Snacking Table

July 19, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Sunday’s ad is for Miller High Life, from 1960. This is another in the “Put The Finest Label … On Your Table” series, with this one focusing on what looks like a generous amount of snacks, finger foods and appetizers, plus a fairly full entrée plate. As before, the woman seems to be doing all of the work, smiling even, as the man pours himself a beer. And there appears to be only one bottle and only one glass, so she’s too bust to stop to have a drink, one supposes. Of course, it’s possible he’s pouring the beer for her, and that’s why she’s smiling. In 1960? Nah, I’m going with my first scenario.

    Jay, I want to believe that back on the counter is a half-finished bottle of wine that she has been drinking from for the last two hours. At least, that’s how that story would be told today.

    and for sure:
    1. The beer would be better than that crap;
    2. Their clothes would be far more casual; &
    3. BOTH of them likely would be involved with the chow.
