Beer In Ads #772: Americans Are Going To Eat Better .. Feel Better .. Look Better

January 1, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad, the first for 2013, is for Budweiser, from 1945, when World War 2 was at its end and optimism was running high. This one is also quite remarkable, and te text-heavy ad argues that the laboratories of Anheuser-Busch during the war have done great thinks to combat that other scourge of the age; malnutrition. The message is clear. Do your duty and drink Bud, so they can continue their nutritional research. Thank you A-B.

    That research (& the ads) probably ended by the end of 1945. However, Jay’s cynical attitude about such ads is most welcome!
