Beer In Ads #1669: Blue Man Bartender

September 5, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Saturday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1955. And you thought the blue man group was a new phenomenon, but they were around and serving Schlitz — a.k.a. the World’s Most Famous Taste in Beer — way back in the Fifties. Honestly, I don’t quite understand why the guy is blue. But he does have another one of those magic bottles. It’s only half empty but it managed to completely fill two pilsner glasses.

    Yet another “endless” bottle? Two full glasses and a half-empty bottle? Did the third person want it in a bottle, and the server took a few shots hoping the customer wouldn’t notice?

    So many questions…
