Where's the Beef?

I find it interesting that three words had such a big impact on 1980's America. What started as a Wendy's slogan quickly spread to bumper stickers, advertisement spin-offs, and was even used as a political debate retort when Walter Mondale said it to Gary Hart.

Even seasons three and four of the Simpsons have numerous references to this slogan.

So what is the infatuation?

Irate elderly ladies?

Tasty burgers?

Witty rhetoric?

We may never know.
