Beer In Ads #2007: And Saw A …

August 19, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is for Carlsberg, from the late 1950s. With a polar bear emerging from the foam of the glass of beer, the text reads “—Og Så En,” which Google translates as “And saw a …” though there must be another meaning for that phrase. It’s still a pretty cool illustration, though.

    Brilliant site, thank you 🙂
    “Og Så en Carlsberg” should be translated to “And then a Carlsberg”
    Greetings from Denmark !
