Guinness Ad #51: Guinness Grenades

January 15, 2011 By Jay Brooks

guinness-toucan
Our 51st Guinness poster by John Gilroy was, like last week’s, probably from World War 2, and shows a group of soldiers practicing their grenade throwing, with one of them substituting a bottle of Guinness for a grenade. Their commanding officer certainly looks surprised to see the Guinness fly.

Here’s a slightly different version showing one additional soldier.
