Monday’s ad from the 1950s for Schlitz. It’s a bowling ad with a pun. “Set Up the Fun with Light Refreshment.” It cracks me up that he can’t put down the bowling ball long enough to drink his own beer, he needs help.

You can see she is not bowling. She has a dress on. She could be an opponents girlfriend trying to spoil his game by getting him drunk.

I spent many hrs over 40 yrs in bowling alleys – 1st time @ the Palace in Fresno (1957) that still had pin boys! NEVER have I ever seen somone drinking anything w/ball in hand. That ad crax me up.
Dream on, Mr Nuts – it’ll likely never happen unless she has a bottle of one of your faves with a long straw in it & holds the bottle 🙂
