A bar-top placard or point-of-sale (sexist or sexy?) beer advert from English brewer Tolly Cobbold, c. 1975


Nineteen seventies bar-top placard or point-of-sale advert from (now defunct) Ipswich brewer Tolly Cobbold c. 1975. It features semi-naked girls and an empty glass of beer and proclaims: Tolly Cobbold - it was good while it lasted. These days this advert would almost certainly be classed as sexist rather than sexy, the relationship between drinking and sex deemed misleading, misogynistic and likely to offend - vintage nineteen seventies graphics for editorial use only.
