While I'm on the subject of old adverts:
I think it was in June 2004 when I heard a radio ad from Burger King for the new BK Chicken Caesar.
The ad starts with Shakespeare's "Friends, Romans, Countrymen..." speech from the play "Julius Caesar"
Two things wrong with this:
1. That speech was made by Mark Anthony, not Julius Caesar. Caesar was unavailable for comment because he was dead at the time.
2. Caesar salad is so called because it uses Caesar dressing. Caesar dressing was created in 1924 by Italian chef Caesar Cardini at his restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico, not by Julius Caesar in Rome 44 BC.
Am I the only one who gets angry at things like this?
