Before the Salafis in Egypt: "The Preferred Drink of the Family: Stella Beer."
From some 60 years ago, apparently. They haven't managed to ban
Stella yet, but they don't advertise it this way anymore. I can't tell if the little girl is supposed to be partaking. Thanks to
Liberal Koshari for the image. (Update:
I think they got it from Vintage Egypt, which dates it to 1953,)
Don't forget: Salafis or no, beer is an ancient tradition in Egypt. Beer was buried in tombs to refresh the deceased in the afterlife. Beermaking is shown in pharaonic figurines (also I believe buried in tombs), below:
Of course, the Salafis wouldn't approve of the outfits, either.
