Beer In Ads #2832: America’s Earliest Thanksgiving

November 22, 2018 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is for Budweiser, from 1947. This ad features a Native American scene and the headline “America’s Earliest Thanksgiving … Was For Corn.” The text seems pretty racist, although it was 1947. But really, it’s all about the corn.

    Miller should have been the brewery running that ad; I don’t think A-B ever used it, tho it’s used some form of rice (as listed on Bud label) since long before I was 18. 🙂
