How We Used To Think
« on: November 25, 2013, 08:46:09 AM »
Sorry, but this just cracks me up every time I see it.

It wasn't so long ago that THIS was our image of Russian womanhood.

Brilliant advertizing by Wendy's.

I remember that commercial.  Needless to say, I had no desire to pursue RW but I did want a Wendy's hamburger  ;D

Those Wendy's ads from the 1980s crack me up too.  I also loved their ads that had the old lady examining a burger from one of their competitors and asking, "Where's the beef?".
