Once upon a time, America was fascinated with Wendy's "Where's the Beef?" lady, portrayed by Clara Peller. This resulted in a burger-shaped piece of bubble gum in a foil wrapper, just like a mini-version of the real beefy thing. When you opened the wrapper, you found the little card reading, "Here's The Beef."
For even more beefy fun, check out my YouTube video for the "Where's The Beef" song by Coyore McCloud featuring Clara Peller!
For those of you who missed this craze, I've included a photo taken by Brad McCown at the L.A. County Fair. At this booth, you could buy a "Where's the Beef?" collectible plate. It was tempting, but somehow we passed up this opportunity.
