Beer In Ads #575: For The Taste Of Your Life!

March 30, 2012 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad completes an impromptu week of Miller High Life advertising from the 1950s. This ad’s theme is “for the Taste of your life!,” with the High Life bottle as part of an odd still life that includes bread and sausage on a cutting board, a strange sculpture of a rooster perching atop a keg, some blankets and a long pipe that looks more like an oboe than a pipe, at least to me.

    That strange pipe contraption that reminds Jay of an oboe loox more to me like a homebrewer’s racking tube modified to become some sort of a musical instrument that’s definitely not close to being an oboe. More likely, it’s a pipe from which to smoke – & it looks like the tobacco bowl could be separated from the angle joint @ the bottom so to add a little liquid as a filter a la a bong.
