YMMV / Where's the Beef?

• Harsher in Hindsight: In 2020, Wendy's was hit with a beef shortage. References to "Where's the Beef?" happened almost instantly.
• Memetic Mutation: "Where's the Beef" was everywhere in 1984 and had a huge amount of merchandise made in its short lifespan. It hit peak meme status when it was referenced unironically in the Democratic primaries that year, and may have been what sealed Walter Mondale's nomination. It was later remarked that if Mondale could have said the line like Clara did, he may have defeated Ronald Reagan's reelection campaign.
