Beer In Ads #1685: Deep Sea Beer Diving

September 21, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1950. This is from Schlitz’s long-running three-panel “I was curious” series. In this one, a deep sea diver is coaxed out of the water by dangling cans of Schlitz in his face. Once on dry land, he had a beer and a sandwich. I’m not sure if it was the sammy or the beer, but it put a smile on his face. I’m going with the beer.

    Looks like pretty shallow water for “deep sea” diving.
