Let's eat out! - McDonalds early 60's . . .
I don't recall the exact wording, but about that same time McDonalds used a tag line something like "A complete meal . . . and change back from a buck!". (I think the product was a hamburger, fries, and shake for $0.89.)

About the same time, print ads showed a scantily-clad young woman sporting a come-hither look and the tag line, "All my men wear English Leather, or they wear nothing at all."

In my senior year of high school we would take the 57 Chevy to McD for lunch. A Cheeseburger, Coke and fries cost 99 cents including Florida sales tax which was then 4 or 5%. That was 1969.

one TV version even finished off with ".. every one of them" even a teenager had no trouble parsing the sub-text there - imagine their disappointment when real world women didn't quite live the same ethos
was that Jacqueline Smith at her most "innocently" nubile?

I am surprised that this line from an Excedrin ad wasn't used in the "Everybody Loves Raymond" sitcom.
I think that was actually, Anacin? , which IIRC was in its original formulation just Aspirin and caffeine - amazing how many of the pain relievers contained that stimulant
Can't remember any cultural touchstones by Excedrin

The fellow who wrote that ad was a friend of mine, John Chervokas (RIP). I believe the firm he worked for was Suddler & Hennesy. One of the wittiest fellows I've ever met.
