The slogan "a man's gotta chew what a man's gotta chew" was for Texan bar, not Toffo. This misinformation needs to be removed. 82.2.179.61 (talk) 17:56, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

If you watch this 1979 Toffo TV ad, that is exactly the slogan used. [1] Edwardx (talk) 21:25, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Funnily enough, I thought that too but Texan was the one with the cowboy about to be burned alive until the "Red Indians" (as they were then called) drop with exhaustion as he chews his bar. It's online. I was wondering where the "a man's gotta chew what a man's gotta chew" (and "Go get 'em Floyd") line was from and finally just tracked it down to Toffo. It was repeated by every schoolboy in the land as "A man's gotta chew what a dog's gotta do", but I fear we'd have trouble finding a source for that one.Paulturtle (talk) 01:25, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, Paulturtle. It is interesting how we misremember things, and it was all a long time ago. Fortunately, more and more of these old ads are appearing online, allowing factchecking. Edwardx (talk) 13:53, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
