Beer In Ads #210: The Taste Buds

October 6, 2010 By Jay Brooks

Wednesday’s ad is for Budweiser, from 1979. The “Taste Buds” ad campaign was one of the goofiest ones they ever did. It didn’t last very long, but it sticks out in my memory, for whatever that’s worth. This is a print ad for the campaign, but it was really the television ads where its complete goofiness came out. So below this I’ve included two of those.

    Wow! This was wedged back in my brain for the past 32 years. I remember watching this commercials and when I came across this website everything came back to me from when I was 4-years-old. How long did this campaign run for?
