Advertising For Dummies: How do you find beef in spaghetti sauce? (1985)

A year after gaining fame for the phrase, "Where's the beef?" in a Wendy's ad, Clara Peller was back, this time shilling for Prego Plus spaghetti sauce.



Apparently, Wendy's didn't find the ad amusing, believing that Campbell's, the makers of Prego, were misleading viewers into thinking Peller had found the beef she'd been looking for since the now famous Wendy's ad. Peller was released from her contract, and, as it turns out, Wendy's didn't approve her appearance in the Prego spot.
