Beer In Ads #387: Kiss That Bud Foam

June 8, 2011 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is a 1956 ad for Budweiser. It’s another in the “Where there’s life … there’s Bud” series that was common in the late 1950s. The ad shows a can of Budweiser Lager Beer, freshly poured. Is it just me, or this ad just one big double entendre? Between the look on the guy’s face, who just poured the beer, and the woman bending down, who looks as if she’s about to kiss the head … something’s going on there. Or am I reading too much into that?

    There is no guy’s face. Give us the correct ad! I wanna see the double entendre!
