Beer In Ads #976: Goodbye 200!


Friday’s ad is for Pabst Blue Ribbon, from April 1942. It’s a bowling themed ad, a popular sport in beer ads, at least up until the 1960s or 70s. The man bowling didn’t convert a split, sailing the ball between two pins, placing his 200 game in jeopardy, apparently. Luckily using some pretty tortured 33 to 1 logic, he managed to make his 200 game and beat the competition by 20 points.
