Here, the ad's pitch is a simple one: "switch to Squirt," an invitation to trade the usual drink for a grapefruit soda. Squirt dates to the late 1930s, when it was a regional bottler's product that grew into a nationally known brand. Its magazine advertising shows how soft drink makers of that era sold a bright, refreshing taste to a broad public, not just to people who were thirsty. The ad is also a reminder that this board's category, wine, beer and spirits, covers more than alcohol, since the drinks it collects were often promoted alongside sodas on the same magazine pages.
