Playing on the idea that quiche was an unmanly food (a joke popularized in the 1982 bestseller, Real Men Don’t Eat Quiche), Republicans in 1984 tarred Democratic candidate Walter Mondale with the damning insult: “Mondale Eats Quiche,” seen on bumper stickers and on buttons during the GOP Convention that year.
Button from the Edna Mae Phelps Political Collection at the Oklahoma State University Library
