Popeye shilling Carling Black Label beer

[indy mike]

Jerry Beck at Cartoon Brew posted a link to YouTube - someone put up a commercial for Carling Black Label Beer featuring Popeye. I guess spinach wasn't the only thing Popeye likes in a can... http://www.cartoonbrew.com/

Fred and Barney from the Flintstones hawked Winston cigarettes, too.

The other Carling Black Label beer commercial I remember (and love,too!) was one that featured a guy making a Bologna (or,was that Ham?)sandwich,sitting down in a chair,crunching on the lettuce and saying "MMMM..great sandwich! and great beer,too"....does anyone have a link to that video? It's been quite some time since I've seen it... THANX!! Michael Boyce

I ran into Popeye at Kroger the other night. He seemed to be doing quite well despite his age. Sadly, Barney and Fred both died of lung cancer around four thousand years ago.

"Mabel, Black Label!" (a commercial slogan from the 1940s)

"Get off the table, Mabel, that two bucks is for beer." (Slightly raunchy 1940s take-off on the 1940s slogan)

mabel showed up in tv commercials into the 1970s at least.
