This was a fantastic episode, though I both feel bad for Clara Peller but also relieved that in a way, she got the last laugh. Especially given Wendy's MANY troubles over the years, including an inexcusable E. Coli outbreak. Although I wasn't affected by it, hearing about the outbreak ENRAGED me given that Jack In The Box's VERY public outbreak was supposed to change food safety. Sadly, it seems like absolutely nobody, even Jack In The Box themselves [I've seen Yelp reviews and a picture on reddit of fungus growing in a restaurant], seemed to have learned from the outbreak. Since you are covering real spokespeople, will you do Tom Carvel, founder of Carvel Ice Cream one day? His death may have not been natural and that is both chilling and heartbreaking since nobody really wanted to investigate further, meaning the possible culprits got off scott free.

My dad was a district manager of Wendy's during this ad campaign. At the age of about six, I had a "Where's The Beef" nightshirt, which I believe currently resides in my sister's basement. Not sure how this phrasing was deemed appropriate for kids wear, but before that Wendy's was also "Hot and Juicy", which we also had on shirts.

Prego did her dirty with that commercial

Glad Clara got a happy ending. Shame on Wendy's for letting her go just because of a Prego commercial about where the beef was. Why not be mad at Prego for having Clara say those lines.
