Where's the Beef?

[Watusi]

On this day in 1984, Wendy's launched the iconic commercial that made Clara Peller and her catch phrase "Where's the Beef?" American icons.

 

31 years ago? Unbelievable!

 

How many of you old timers remember this classic?

I remember it well.

I remember it well too! Loved that commercial!

Heck, I was old when it debuted.

 

I think Ms. Peller and I went to school together.

I was under the impression she was your great niece.

People also had a lot of fun with the advertising in that era by Burger King: "It takes two hands to hold a Whopper." Maybe the Wendy's ad was in response to that one. I don't know.

You are mistaken.

 

I took her to the prom.

 

Which, as I think back on the events of the evening, may have resulted in the famous catch phrase.:down:
