Where's the beef?...ranks amongst the best advertising slogans |
|
Do you think...that "Stay the Course!" could rank amongst the greatest/worst sales pitches, ever?
Like the "Read my Lips, slogan?

It's occurred to me that all these years I never did find out.

4. Clara Peller found it, and lost her job at Wendy's |
|
from Wikipedia:
Clara Peller (August 4, 1902 – August 11, 1987), was an American who, as an elderly woman, starred in the legendary "Where's the beef?" advertisement for Wendy's fast-food restaurant chain. Peller's "Where's the beef" line became an instant catchphrase, with even presidential candidate Walter Mondale using it.
Popular belief is that she lost her role with Wendy's after she appeared in a dog food ad, proudly proclaiming "I found the beef!" The actual reason for her termination from Wendy's was an ad for Prego spaghetti sauce in 1985 in which she exclaimed "I found it!" and "I finally found it!", in reference to "Where's the beef?" :hi:
