Beer In Ads #326: Budweiser, Say When

March 8, 2011 By Jay Brooks

ad-billboard
Tuesday’s ad is for Budweiser, from 1960, and it’s one of their “where’s there’s life … there’s Bud” series. This one shows a couple enjoying an evening on the floor. Cigarette hanging from his mouth, the man is pouring a bottle of Budweiser while his lady friend watches expectantly. Holding her hands on either side of the filling beer glass, her expression seems to be waiting to say “when.”

    Seems like a magic bottle. The glass is full already, and the bottle’s only half-empty.

    I bet she really appreciates him blowing cigarette smoke in her face just before she gets to taste the beer. Real charmer he is, huh?
