Beer In Ads #994: Feeding The Squirrels

October 9, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is another for Rheingold Beer, from 1951, and features Miss Rheingold from that year, Elise Gammon. She’s on a city street, with an odd-looking hat — are those ears? — feeding peanuts to a squirrel. Is she wearing the gloves as a fashion statement or to avoid getting rabies?

    I’ve fed squirrels hand-to-mouth (peanuts shelled, so they eat them – if you give a squirrel a nut in its shell, it’ll go bury it most of the time). The hat loox like a precursor to the Mickey Mouse beanie – lol
