Subject: What year was it?

Written By: generationheXed on 11/6/2000 at 4:03 p.m.

WHERE'S THE BEEF?"

Clara Peller was first seen by TV viewers January 9, in the now-famous and sometimes annoying, yet very successful, "WHERE'S THE BEEF", commercial campaign for Wendy's fast-food chain. Dave Thomas spent $8 million on the ads that promoted hamburger sales plus T-shirts, baseball caps, records, greeting cards and countless other items bearing the picture of the elderly cult star.

I read about this somewhere a few years ago. I thought it was 86, but the article I read stated either 84 or 85. It was probably about 84.

I remember those pretty well. There was also a bubble gum called that but after the store clerk told my mother that they about break your teeth out, she wouldn't get it for us kids.
