Beer In Ads #1883: A Snack After The Movies


Saturday’s ad is entitled A Snack After the Movies, and the illustration was done in 1948 by Stevan Dohanos. It’s #14 in a series entitled “Home Life in America,” also known as the Beer Belongs series of ads that the United States Brewers Foundation ran from 1945 to 1956. In this ad, two couples have apparently returned from the movies, and are making what the title refers to as “a snack.” But the host couple is making hamburgers and a large salad, not what I’d call a “snack.” I tend to think if you have to both put on an apron to prepare it, then it’s not a snack.
