Parsnip to Parsnip (Mad Men S7) - Show Notes

Laura and Charlotte are excited to wrap up another series on this week's episode: Mad Men! They join the gang on Madison Avenue one last time to discuss Season 7 and review the series as a whole. Laura notes how the ending to Don's story is ambiguous and layered, while lauding Joan's arc from gold-digging secretary to independent business woman. Charlotte shares her happiness with Pete finally getting his life together, and Peggy success with both business and romance (STAN, FTW!). Together the girls discuss the portrayal of the moon landing, Sally's relationship with her parents, and the role of the Vietnam War in the final episodes of the series.

Did Don really manipulate Megan out of her career? What is the true meaning behind the final shot of the legendary "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke" campaign? And will we ever be able to get the image of Ginsberg's severed nipple out of our heads?? All these subjects and more are discussed on the final Mad Men episode of The Lettuce Podcast!

The Fun & Games segment featured the last ever round of Mad Men Madlibs. Laura challenged Charlotte to rewrite Peggy's iconic Burger Chef pitch. You won't want to miss the hilarious result!

In a tribute to Betty's redemptive arc in Season 7, Laura sipped on a favorite of Betty's: the Lime Gimlet!
