Mad Men Pitches Quiz – Carousel, Lucky Strike and Don Draper

Mad Men, created by Matthew Weiner, follows creative director Don Draper, played by Jon Hamm, at the Sterling Cooper agency in the 1960s. His pitches sell feelings more than products.

In the pilot he rescues Lucky Strike with the slogan It's toasted. In the first season finale he renames Kodak's slide projector the Carousel, describing it as a time machine that carries us back to people we love.

Later, his Hershey's pitch turns into a painful confession, and Peggy Olson leads a strong Burger Chef pitch about family dinners. The series ends with a hint that Don created Coca-Cola's famous hilltop ad.
