George wants a McDLT!
Bill sent me an IM today in which he told me the following, “Today my left hander’s calendar says: ‘Did you know that before he became famous as George Costanza on Seinfeld, lefty funnyman Jason Alexander’s biggest claim to fame was singing and dancing in McDonald’s McDLT sandwich commercial in 1985?’”
As usual with most comments involving fast food, this sparked a lively and lengthy conversation about the McDLT, what it was, how it’s similar to the Big N’ Tasty, and Bill’s previous love of the McPizza. However, Bill sent me a link to said commercial, and, well, there are no words, really. [Oh yes there are - Matt]
I wonder if Jason Alexander ever hung out with Bruce Willis in the 80’s while dining on McDLT’s and drinking Seagram’s Golden Wine Cooler? Maybe Bruce sang, “Seagram’s, Golden Wine Cooler, it’s wet and it’s dry!” while Jason sang, “McDonald’s, McDLT, it’s hot and it’s cold!”

Bruce Willis is a total wine-er
Imagine it’s 1986, and Bruce Willis walks out onto the porch singing into a Seagram’s bottle….”Seagram’s…. golden wine coooler…. It’s wet and it’s dry!”. He sings next to the guitar guy, stops by to visit finger-snapping guy and the harmonica guy, and does some sort of fancy twirl next to the other guitar guy so he can sit down and sing to the dog.
Now imagine it’s 2008, and you’re hanging out in the East Village at Bowery Wine Company. Bruce Willis steps behind the bar. What do you order?! What do you do?!
If you’re like a lot of people in New York, you stand outside Avalon Bowery Place with a big sign to protest development of the neighborhood by rich people, and of course because Bruce Willis represents, YUPPIE SCUM or something.
Instead, maybe the protestors should just chill out with a Seagram’s Escapes (that’s what they’re called now), hang out on someone’s porch with a dog and a harmonica, and play some blues.
