10260: Talkin’ The Talk With Mickey D’s.

Copyranter at BuzzFeed and Jim Edwards at Business Insider both commented on the 1976 Mickey D’s ad depicted above. Copyranter appeared to be amused by the stereotypical copy, while Edwards declared the ad was racist. Um, definitely disagree with Edwards. The copy and imagery represent standard multicultural marketing for the period; and sadly, things have barely evolved over time.

The Dollar Menu Guy said, “For not much money I can get a lot of kickin’ food which I love.”

And everyone knows “when your stomach starts talking to you, holla back.”

Plus, don’t forget the Mango Pineapple Smoothie chant—as well as Chiller Talk for Cherry Berry Chillers. Word.
