Beer In Ads #2027: Framed In Gold

September 8, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is for Miller High Life, from 1948. In this ad, on a bright red background, a drawing of a Miller High Life tavern or inn sits in a golden frame, with a glass and bottle of beer sitting in front of it. And lo and behold, it’s another one of those magic bottles, where even though the bottles is only half-empty, the glass is completely full. So it’s either a tiny glass or a giant bottle. Or possibly both?
