Beer In Ads #2065: Moments We’ll Never Forget

October 16, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Sunday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1940. In this ad, entitled “Moments We’ll Never Forget …,” is features “Six great explorers recall exciting episodes around the world.” But then there’s one more story. And it’s the moment you first tasted Schlitz. There’s even a sidebar with how bad air is for your beer. Another dense double truck filled with text. These may some of the first advertorials.

    Plenty of he-man talk and plenty of Schlitz…sounds like a load of BS !
