Beer In Ads #256: Carling’s Red Cap Wreath

December 2, 2010 By Jay Brooks

ad-billboard
Thursday’s holiday ad is for Carling Red Cap from the 1950s. On a wintery front door instead of a wreath is hung a very, very large red cap. Now that’s holiday spirit.

    Good grief, that must be Bruce Bochy’s cap hanging on that door. Only his melon’s big enough to fit that.

    Or that of Peter Garrett, Midnight Oil’s lead singer (who’s been an elected politician & appointed minister in Australia since early 00’s) – he’s 6’7″ & has HUGE head & hands. He & Bochy were toddlers/non-existent when that ad appeared – Bochy was born in 1955; Garrettt in 1953.

    Here’s a Wikipedia link to what Garrett’s been up to since Midnight Oil disbanded 2002: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Garrett
