'Where's the beef?' ad turning 30 this week
It’s hard to believe that 30 years ago this month, Wendy’s first aired its iconic “Where’s the beef?” ad.
The commercial, which first debuted on the small screen on Jan. 10, 1984, featured three white-haired women examining a hamburger. As they rave about the large and fluffy hamburger bun, one woman, Clara Peller, addresses the obviously small hamburger patty paired with the bun.

The ad is 30, but already has clogged arteries.
Never saw a single one of them live. I was in Europe and we heard all about it but 30 years ago the only TV we had was local European stations. On base we got Afee's but there were no commercials. Good times. lol
Poor Clara got fired for doing a commercial for another product I seem to recall.
I feel old.
Tomorrow, I'm thinking Wendy's.

It was for another meat industry. "Pork me" just didn't resonate with the public.
