Beer In Ads #2314: Be Light-Hearted, Swimmers

June 21, 2017 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is for Carling’s Red Cap Ale, from 1952. In this ad, part of another series featuring the tagline “Be Light-Hearted!,” another couple is toasting with two glasses of beer. They’ve apparently just come out of the swimming pool and are drying off, but the first thing they did was grab a couple beers. You gotta respect that.
