Lawyer friend Tim paid a visit to the Pet Rock satellite office this past weekend hell-bent on Schlitz Malt Liquor commercials.
Turns out he had been reading a story earlier that day that said Pabst Brewing Co. is bringing back the popular 1970s beer and malt liquor in its original recipe and bottle design. It's just plain funny to think that you can now order a Schlitz at a bar or buy it in a supermarket instead of a thrift store.
So, we got to YouTubing on Saturday afternoon and determined this 1970s Schlitz Malt Liquor commercial to be the best of the bunch. It's got everything: awesomely bad '70s white-guy afros, satin jackets, awkward body language by the Average White Band, a pinball machine, tragic lyrics and . . . wait for it . . . a guy singing into a beer can.
Enjoy this week's Old School Tuesday. It's a gem.

My dad still has an original can behind his bar. I think the production run will be a fad again, and he'll have to keep a can of this version for another 30 years. I've got to try one before they go on the shelf again. Maybe some new rapper can hook up with a new teen starlet, and been seen drinking the Original Bull into popularity again.
