Beer In Ads #842: Something More Than Beer

April 10, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is for Budweiser, from 1951. With the tagline “Something more than Beer” followed by “… a mark of good taste,” a couple is apparently unwrapping wedding gifts. The expression on the woman’s face is priceless as she looks over a statue she’s just opened, while her new hubby arrives to rescue her with a tray of beers and snacks.

    It’s actaully a Mayan statue predicting the end of the world, and the ad is only 6 months old.
