Beer In Ads #594: Acme Non-Fattening

April 26, 2012 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is still another one for Acme Beer, this one from their 1930s “Dietetically Non-Fattening” campaign, and this one was also done by famed pin-up artist George Petty. I’ve featured a painting of this ad before, but I recently found how it was used in an actual ad. I love the qualification on its status as a diet drink, which is that it’s “relatively so, compared with other foods.”
