    I remember "When you're out of Schlitz, you're out of beer!"

    Here's some trivia for you, Ann Kennedy. Who plays the customer and who plays the waiter in this 1969 ad for Schlitz beer? http://youtu.be/xgrUCprTuUs

    Coors Light, has a all aluminum beer can with a screw top. Looks very similar to the can pictured above.
