1971 was the year Labatts' (and all the others) customer base got an increase when the legal drinking age in Canada was lowered to 18 from 21. This ad was probably produced when the minimum drinking age was still 21, and going by that, it would make the youngest of them only three or so years away from their Canada Pension/Social Security.
@meekrob And you want to know what?.......at approx 23:45 central time on May the 18th.....I'm presently drunk on Labatt's blue.....I'm starting to prefer it over Bud....because Bud give me Bud butt.....and Blue has no preservatives....which prevents bud butt....diahreah.....yaay!
Very good....I love the theme of the era....can somebody out there in internet land find me the Labbatt's pilsner commercial from the 50's with Harpo Marx? Please...thank you....
I absolutely love the superimposed air balloon at 0:27!
