Beer In Ads #938: The Falstaff Gorilla & Popcorn

July 24, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is yet another one for Falstaff, also from 1964. It’s the third in an odd series of ads featuring a gorilla that Falstaff did that year. This one shows the gorilla reading Dylan Thomas while a woman with pigtails sits on the floor eating popcorn, surrounded by stacks of Falstaff cans.

    Who emptied the 1st 6-pack? More weirdness for sure – the bird in the canary cage looks like a dove, which is cruel & unusual punishment for a bird that size.
