Beer In Ads #455: If You Like Beer You’ll Love Schlitz

October 14, 2011 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is from 1954, and is for Schlitz. With a slogan of “If you like beer you’ll love Schlitz,” the woman in the ad is dressed to the nines in a green cocktail dress. Behind her there appears to be a party going on. Two odd comments, though. First, aren’t those flowers in the right foreground lilies? And aren’t lilies for funerals? Second, what the hell is on that food tray on the table. It looks like a giant cheeseball with olives and cocktail weenies sticking out of it.
