Beer In Ads #970: Don’t Drop Our Name Here

September 5, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is for Schlitz, from the 1970s. It’s an environmental ad, and by “Don’t Drop Our Name Here,” they mean not to drop your empty cans on the beach and litter. They even created a new contraction for the ad copy, suggesting where you could put your empties. “The nearest trashcan’ll do.” Conservation of letters, too, I suppose.
